Hello all. I'm building the computer/bomb gauntlet for a friend, and trying to figure out how to do the electronics, particularly the countdown timer.

Sorry for second post I didn't want to include anything other than the code In the previous post for cut and paste purposes if they're new to it (like I was) it can be overwhelming if you have no former training or education in it. The 12 LED rings power up and off and I powered it by USB with a 18V milwaukee tool battery with an adapter
