well guys im looking for some help or any advice on a led project i want to do
i want to be able to fully control either a pic 18f series pic or maybe a attyiny series
in a nutshell i want to be able to control 4 rgb leds diffused with a tact switch with different modes
so say hit the tact button mode 1 turns red hit the tact again mode 2 turns blue hit the tact again mode 4 turns yellow so basically the full color spectrum then the final mode to leds off all 4 leds will do the same thing
i have limited space so an arduino is out of the question and my max V is only 5 maybe a bit less i can design a custom pcb but im a complete noob when it comes to coding
any suggestions?
need some help

Re: need some help
If you are using neopixels, you can drive 100 or more pixels with a Trinket and each of them will be individually addressable.
