Some explanations
Hello.
I "started" in electronics 40 years ago. Most PICS and 'pukes that I've seen are surface-mount and are just to damn small for me to see anymore. And, like I said, I already have the discrete stuff, but not one piece of PIC gear. No cables, no "burner", (or whatever they call them nowadays), and no way to make a PC board for one. I know there are PCB houses that do one-offs, but I would still have to route the circuit. So, I'm just not interested in doing it in software. I could very well be wrong about not using code to do this, but I don't have a clue where to start. I'm definitely NOT going to start buying a bunch of books or kits or whatever just to do it "easier". I'm hoping some of the "old geezers" out there like me can come up with something. I know it can be done the way I want, after all, NASA did it back in the '6o's with vacuum tubes and relays. Remember the huge countdown clock at every launch? I do appreciate the feedback though, please don't think I don't. I guess I'm just a dinosaur. <ckd>
