He has also emailed me directly for this same question.
He said it was for Work, but he told me that his Work told him that he had to design it without using IC's.
Well Obviously he isn't an Engineer, he isn't even very familiar with electronic symbols.
And No Work place would expect that of a non- electronic person.
So it Must be School work.
Well thats my opinion.
I gave him a Very Basic design. But guess its not good enough.
And if it is school work as I suspect, its time he got to it.
