Hi Everyone,
New to the forum and fairly new to electronics. Im coming here to see if anyone would be kind enough to help with a project that I have wanting to build for a long time.
I am a big Star Wars fan and I want to build a Holocron which is basically a storage device used by Jedi and Sith.
I want to build a system with a thumb drive that when plugged into a computer, several LEDS will will also light at the same time and maybe have some kind of animation. It may sound simple to some but for me, I have no idea where to start. I know there are thumb drives out there that have a tiny LED that lights up when plugged into a computer but nowhere as bright as I am imagining. Im thiniking Neopixel ring or something along those lines.
There is instructable here: http://www.instructables.com/id/Holocron-Build-a-Star-Wars-Thumb-Drive/
It kinda covers what I want to do but the author was not very direct in his instructions and I'd love to do something similar to what he did.
If anyone can help I'd appreciate very much...thanks everyone
