Looks like insanity to me.
Says the person who just stated this project looks like insanity and joined AAC two weeks ago. This thread was started one week ago and we've been working with the OP to help him define all his requirements which we just got today. As with most projects here, defining the requirements is a moving target at first. The purpose of AAC is for those with experience in electronics to offer free help voluntarily to those without. It comes at the cost of spare time. If you're expecting to get paid here, you're in the wrong forum I'm afraid. If you're trying to sound superior at least get your facts straight and maybe hang around the forum for more than a couple of weeks to see how we help others before judging us.You've been talking around in circles for weeks on end with clashing and changing schemas. I would have had the project done and documented and ready to be paid by now.
I do like the uC route. I was looking at the PICAXE as it is simple to learn, but I worry about the accuracy of a self-generated clock - PICAXE's are not known for their timing accuracy, especially when carrying out multiple tasks simultaneously. An Arduino would probably do it, but I wouldn't be of much help there myself.As a programming type of course I am going to say that a microcontroller is the best way to go. The variations in the rules, which are dependent on the number of players, can best be implemented via software.
I'm game! Can't wait for Monday.I think MrChips suggestion of a CD4026 with a 555 would work nicely. I'm game if djsfantasi would like to come up with a uC solution and I can work on a hardware-only one (unless MrChips would prefer to do this, being his idea and all). Fun to compare a uC solution with a hardware one once in a while.
No worriesSorry All.....Nothing to report just yet.
