Hello, thanks for the response. I know with the blinkm i would have to program each one individually but i was willing to go that way because of the "BlinkM Sequencer programing software" it looked like i would have less code to deal with. Just more time would be spent getting each light sequenced and timed properly.
I actually plan on having the light be a light blue to match the color of the car. (It will only be for the shows) But I do like the possibility of changing the colors if i ever wanted to. I started reading the data sheets on the 5940 and 5947 and I got over my head pretty quick. My biggest fear is to invest a lot of time and money in to it and never get it up and going but these shitfbrites being 1/2 the cost of the blinkm.... well I am a little more inclined to give it a try. I will get with you after Christmas, i do think i will go the shiftbrite route.
