Hi,
I wish to embark on a project of which I have no idea where to start (or end), I have a Mechanical back ground not electronics.
I wish to make a series of boxes which can sit outside with no external power supply.
Box 1 needs an LED to light up for 1 minute once a week
Box 2 needs an LED to light up for 1 minute once a month
Box 3 needs an LED to light up for 1 minute once every 4 months
Box 4 needs an LED to light up for 1 minute once a year.
These boxes need to be as maintenance free as possible, keep good time (so they do not need re-visiting, Also cheap to make.
The container itself is easy to make, but the timer inside is where I fail. Can you help?
