Microcontroller –based LED light chaser

by arun on December 5, 2008

Light chaser can be used to create lighting animation sequences. These have been used in the past to attract attention for advertising, event promotion and decoration. It can be used to produce pleasing effects for entertainment. This technology has now reached the point where everyone can afford to build light chasers. Light chaser has some pre-programmed sequences which change automatically according to your choice, while others are programmed to generate particular patterns like picture and graphical designs. Such application based on AT89C51 microcontroller that generates five different lighting effects using 120 LEDs connected to 24 input/output (I/O) lines of the micro controller. (CIRCUIT FIG DRAW)
Features of this circuit:
1. Each of the 24 I/O lines having fives LEDs connected to it in series.
2. Changeable time delay to increase or decrease the speed of effect.
3. Eight pushbutton switches for different operations like selection of light effect, stop and change of delay.
4. Reprogrammable because of AT89C51 microcontroller.
5. Software can be extended for many different effects.
