Schmitt Trigger for 'counting' the time

looks better. apply voltage and look for smoke

don't worry about the base. you can use it to increase sensitivity but not a problem in your app.

Smoke? You're kidding, aren't you? I don't smoke, it's very bad for your health, for your pet, and... Oh, wait! I see, you mean smoke when soldering... Yeah, that's funny

Okay, I'm gonna place my order like this now. Just to be safe, I'll also order a 470 Ohm Resistor, in case the IC get's too hot...

=edit=
Thank you very much for your help

No, he means smoke from the components when you wire them wrong! (like no current limiting resistor for an LED).

It's done! I have just finished the final few lines of code for the atmega.

You can see the results of my (and of course your) hard work here: **broken link removed**

sehr gut!

thank you for letting us know what happened. all too often you never hear from some one about their project.
