Haunted Mansion Inspired Clock

Hi,

Can you help with a program for a "haunted"  mantle clock?

Input: PIR
Output: 12 volt dc gear reduction motor for the hour hand (150ma)
Output: 4 LEDs to light the clock face wired in series. (1 output terminal)
Output: 2 LEDs to provide backlight.  Wired in parallel using the same output terminal
Output: 2 LEDs Eyes. Wired in parallel using the same output terminal

Behavior:  Clock is dormant until the PIR senses motion.  Backlight fades up to full brightness over one second.  Eyes fadeup to full brightness over second.  Clock face lights at full brightness.  Motor spins for 12 seconds.  All LEDS and motor are turned off (no fade) no retrigger for 30 seconds.

Thanks

Using PWM with the Prop-1 means doing things sequentially -- I hope that's the behavior you're looking for. I also used PWm on the motor to ease the current load when starting up.

ScaryTinker,
    If you want the clockface to light up at full intensity (no fade up) just omit the "FOR, NEXT" commands in the clockface section.  ;)
