Hi,
I have an idea for a project, and although I "think" it should work, I have no Idea how to implement it. Any help/hints would be GREAT!
As you can see from the image, there is a control module, that is connected to each module with only 1 wire, and just to clarify, that isn't 1 wire for each module, that is 1 wire that every module is connected to. Each module has an led on it, and I want the control module to be able to turn on the leds independently, so for instance, the control module could send out "turn on m3" and although every module would receive that signal, only m3 would turn on.
In addition to that each module has a manual switch, so that you can turn on/off the leds at the module itself. NOTE: this shouldn't be a "kill switch" is should be a bump switch. If that happens the module should send a signal to the control module so that the control module always knows what led's are on/off.
I am wanting the modules to be as compact and simple as possible, the control module doesn't matter as much.
Hopefully this doesn't sound like I am asking for someone to do this for me, I am not asking for that at all. If you have any experience with something like this, or have any idea as to how I could make this work, I would really appreciate any advice you have.
Thanks,
Josh
