Re: Selecting a microcontroller

That sounds perfect. Although I may have to do something about the overheating; I'm hoping to be able to integrate this into a piece of clothing or something.

And if I did manage to get it into clothing, I was hoping to produce several more.


Also, the reason I'd think an Arduino is overkill is that they cost $35 or so each, and have more than enough power to do what I want to do. $35 for the microcontroller alone, aside from adding another $12 for the LEDs and whatever the clothing article would possibly cost.
