Sure, use a PIC.
LOL
1 PIC, for everything.

No "use a PIC" posts without a full schematic and code listing, as well
as an offer to use your own $150 development system to program the
thing for him.

Look, dude, I could have written 'micro'. You will have to face the
fact that lots of analog stuff can be done much easier in a PIC or some
other, possibly less easy to obtain, less easy to program, with a more
complicated instruction set, less reliable, more power hungry OTHER
micro.

Oh, don't take yourself so damn seriously. ;-)

Oh, well, I was just trying to help ;-)

I wonder - is there a version where I can write the program in, say, C or
BASIC, and upload it to the chip with nothing more than a breadboard and
serial port? (i.e., no $150.00 dev. kit?)

Thanks,
Rich

You dont need a $150.00 dev. kit all you need is a PICKIT2 or 3 usb
programer . $50.00 if you search around you could probably find it
cheaper.Microchip supplies free C and asm compilier.

It would take him maybe a day to figure out how to program his 556
circuit.
