Hi Guys,

I'm looking for ideas here. I am trying to figure out how to make a
random interval timer! Something that will trigger an indicator
after a random period of time. Ideally 1 to 15 seconds after a
button is pushed.

Do you want it to be an integral number of seconds from when the
button is pushed or are you looking for a pulse with a truly random
width starting 1 second after the button is pushed and ending at any
time up to and including 15 seconds after the button was pushed?

Better yet, what's your application?

This is intended as a reaction timing device. The user pushes a
button and after a random delay, pops a light on and starts a
counter. The user presses a second button that stops and freezes the
counter. A little like the "Simon" toy but with a counter instead of
a buzzer. Fixed delays ie 1, 2, 4 etc seconds is easy. I didn't
think a random delay would be so hard !
