Custom LED Patterns

What you'll build
Design your own light shows with multiple LEDs and code loops.

Before you start

  • You'll learn: Using an array of pin numbers plus a for loop to drive many LEDs with a few lines of code.

  • You'll finish: Five LEDs playing chase-forward, chase-back and group-flash patterns.

  • Real world: Billboards, stage lighting and scoreboard displays are just bigger versions of this array-and-loop idea.

  • Then try: Invent a pattern that spells your initials in flashes, or a warning pattern for a level crossing.

  • Who does this: Lighting or display technician — TVET, or software development at a coding school like WeThinkCode.
