I'm looking to build a varied, high frequency power supply for a strobe light. Any suggestions on the best way to go about this? I would prefer to have it computer controlled so that I can change the frequency without manual input. Any pointers would be really appreciated! Thanks!

Welcome to PF;
The best way is always the same:
- refine your description to be more specific
- Start by taking a look at how other people have attempted the same thing.
- Make sure you are familiar with the regulations involved
- Use high quality components
