Program a flash drive
Hi everyone,
I have a friend who have helped me to attach some components on the chip of the flash drive to make it possible to select some LEDs to lid.
So with this new components I'm going to make a software that changes 4 LEDs in the flash drive. This software that I'm going to develope is going to be on the flash-drive and not on the computer, and when I press a button "turn on green" or something similar the green light should led.
Now to my question. What programming language should I use, and how do I make it possible to "talk" to the leds?
Hope anyone can help me with this,
Thanks in advance

I found this already made USB-stick with the ability to program:

If I make my software with this one is it then easy to make a copy of that that is much cheaper? Because I would need about 500 pcs and to buy 500 development tools seems unnecessary and expensive.
Thank you in advance

Can you show us images and schematics of the hardware? That will influence the answers you get.

Thank you for your reply Kiteman. I haven't got the hardware yet, I thought I would be prepared before it comes. What is the common solutions for these kind of developments?

The first thing you said was;
"I have a friend who have helped me to attach some components on the chip of the flash drive to make it possible to select some LEDs to lid."
So, where are the components?

I don't have them yet. They aren't really made yet but I thought I could prepare some software etc.

So, what you really want to do is find out if such a device (a flash drive with programmable illumination) is actually possible...

Yes, and what language you use to program it.
