That’s more of an analog controller for manually tweaking the voltages for the LED’s. A standard Arduino will let you write very simple code (example here: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial-0007/BlinkingLED) and hooking up LED’s can be done with pretty minimal skill. If you have an EE floating around who can help if you have any more complex tasks, but most of this can be done using a breadboard and simple plug and play connectors, no soldering required.
Here is an example of some old specs I provided to go along with the source code. This explains transition states between different modes for an LED. The waveform indicates a smooth ease in and out (vs a linear transition) and when the LED should jump from state to state.
