    Default some LED help

    ok ive got a small windows in the case im working on now and i want to put several leds around the edge of it to make it light up green... now the tricky part (for me anyways) is that i want the leds to kinda flicker and stay lit then flicker again... like a fluorescent light going out that kinda effect.... im sure theres ways of doing this but im a noob when it comes to this kinda thing. Thanks for the help in advance.

    you'll probably need some kind of circuit with an IC controller to get it done. I got my LED kit from www.pcboard.ca hes got a few other neat LED projects there. Send him an email and see what hes got

    The easiest way to do this, in my mind, is to use a microcontroller. You could probably achieve the same thing with only analog components.
