| You'll need a microcontroller for that one. a Pic16F628 seems like a good solution to me. If you do not have any expierience in pic programming (or another familiy of µC's) then this might be a good time to start with it  Or eighter buy a module (velleman has a kit for this). This is one of those things that screams for a pic. | |

| Just in case you are interested in the velleman kit http://www.velleman.be/common/product.Aspx?id=349182 It uses a pic too | |

| Come to think of it, You could also use the parallel port and drive a LCD directly. | |
