| I just kicked the whole kite thing into gear, hopefully not too late. Gave up on finding a cheap pre-made timer. Researched some easy 555 circuits and realized it will quickly get too complex, and my mcu experience tells me a simple microcontroller and a few lines of code will do all I need (the same way that Ian thinks). So I just ordered some pic 10f200's and solid state relays from digikey. Hopefully they'll get here in time. In the meantime I need to *HOPE* that I can find my programmer and it works inside parallels. Considering the software couldn't even handle a dual-processor PC back in the day, I'm a little worried, but I need to at least try. |
