Light mod

[sirkillalot617]

Hi Iv done a drawing in sketchup to show what I mean basicly the middle circle is a temperature dial (old needle type) mounted in frosted plexy glass. The circles round the out side are also frosted plexi but there are leds behind each one.

What I want it for each to light up in turn moving around the circle clockwise so it looks like the light is spining around at a moderate speed.

How could I do this?

Only thing I can think of is using some kind of small motor. Maybe one out of a small model plane or something. And for the lights, you'll have to find a circut that is timed and will support that many LED's.

You mean like this but in a circle?

If you want to roll your own, google "led sequencer".
