Help in selection

[Mike]

I am trying to make a low power pic project that will sit idle (as low power draw as possible to prolong battery life) and once a day for a duration of 1 hour flash an LED.

 

Ideally I would like to flash a bi-polar LED with a specific series of flashed one way and then a specific series of flashes the opposite way (IE: one set of flashes in one color and andother set in the second colour.)  A second white LED would act as the flashig strobe alone.

The most important feature right now is to be able to trigger the event to start every day at approximately (within 5 minutes or so accurately) the same time each day and then continue to have the event run for the hour and finally go back to sleep for 23 hours again.

 

Any suggestions as to what PIC would be most appropriate for this? and / or suggestions as to how to go about it?

Any PIC controller with sleep mode can do this and I suggest to have a PIC with inbuilt RTC.
