Initially all I wanted to do a countdown circuit (very easy) but during tests I decided to improve the project with an automatic come and go light (not very easy).
EXPANDED TECHNICAL DETAILS
Algorithmic Motion Design
This project explores the logic of fluid, non-blocking animations for large LED arrays, ideal for architectural lighting or automotive turn signals.
Modulo-Based Shifting: Instead of using nested for loops, the code uses Modulo (%) arithmetic to cycle through pin states. This allows the Arduino to handle user inputs (like a speed-control knob) even while the sequence is active.
PWM Fading Curves: Implements a "Logarithmic Fade" using the analogWrite() function. This creates a much smoother, more organic visual effect than simple on/off switching.
Scalability
Shift Register Integration: Provides a foundation for using multiple 74HC595 shift registers, allowing the Arduino to control dozens of LEDs with only 3 digital pins.
