I'm new to this forum and have limited electronics knowledge, so am looking for direction more than specific answers to questions. I want to build a portable display where I can wire LEDs into that can have different settings (such as staying on all of the time or blinking in different patterns) I want to use a number of different LED colors and need it to be battery powered. If anyone has any advice on parts I need or books I should read then please let me know, thanks!
