Alright, I have been trying to build a circuit that will switch the eight position encoder chip of a single channel transmitter. Since that is about the extent of my technical knowledge of what I need to accomplish, I will tell you what the end result needs to be.
I am an amature pyrotechnician. I have built two basic firing systems in the last three years. The most recent one was a remote system with twelve cues on the receiver. Since my shows keep getting bigger so must my system. So on that premise, I have devised an expandable system.
The remote and receivers that I have purchased only have one channel each and they are all on the same frequency. In order for me to be ale to fire them individually or in groups, I need to be able to set the receivers to specific codes on the decoder chips and have the ability to increment thru the codes on the transmitter's encoder. I have purchased the switches for the receivers so that I have eight positions and 256 possible combinations. I also purchased eight 5v relays to be the switches for the transmitter. I would like these relays to be triggered by a counter of some sort. I also need to be able to know what code the Tx is currently on so a seven segment three digit display is needed. It would also be nice to have eight LEDs so that I have a binary representation of the code. I have already bought a few components and can type up the list if needed. I would be willing to drop all that I have for a better idea. End product should have an up button, a down button, a reset button and a power switch in addition to the display(s). I hope all of this makes sense. Please help me out here, I want to have this done before next July.
Thanks
Sean
