Re: Using Counter IC

Hi,


But why would you want to? The single-chip $1 micro might require a $2
programming interface and you might have to download some free software
tools to develop the code, but so what?



Using a PIC controller is a really nice suggestio and i have already
started work on that.


However, if what you are REALLY saying is that you receive 5 signals on
the one line one after another and they just happen to be 99hrs apart
then you can do that with a simple counter chip. Is that what you are
saying?



The signals come from a same source, a standard electronic timer.
I also want to retain the data for atleast 7 days. I am using a battery
for this purpose.
Can i do it with a counter IC?

Thanks n Regards,
Nick
