#97924 - How many LEDS
Responding to: ???'s previous message
If you want to drive 2 or 3 LEDS CPU will work great.
For example typical AT89C2051 can sink 20 mA per pin.

But for more LED you need an interfejs.
Great for 8-LEDS is ULN2803A from Texas Instruments it can Drive 8 outputs (darlington open colector transistors) with 500mA and 50V. It has TTL (0-5V) inputs.
Try it great and simply all you need is this IC CPU and LEDS with little resitors depend from supply.
You can drive some serial connected LEDS for example : 3 with 12VDC.
You can make some section to drive LEDS and Rail in the same IC.
As you know CPU need near 5VDC or lower.
