Bike remote turn signal

Post by shiznatix »

I have an idea for an electronics project but I dont really know where to start since I don't have much experience in the field.

What I want to make is something like this here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpNlsHlHQoE

The problem is, I don't even really know where to begin with the hardware and whatnot. I know I could just buy something like that but that wouldn't be very much fun. So, if anyone can give me an idea for what I need to be looking into, even for a basic prototype, it would be awesome.

Edit: I found this: http://www.nerdkits.com/videos/ledarray2/ but it sure is expensive to get all that is required out to me (1/3 of the price is just shipping). Is there any free tutorials like that which would tell me what parts to get, how to program for the microprocessor, etc etc? I would need a tutorial that would really hold my hand through the whole process.
