Dear all, but if a bizarre request this, but I'll give it a go! Firstly, I know absolutely nothing about electronics, and for that i apologise in advance.
I have just acquired a VW T4 Campervan, and I want to try and create a bit of a quirky gadget to fit into the dash. I'll describe what I'm after, and if any of you good people what to try and help me make it happen, I'll be eternally grateful.
Ok, I'd like a 'tally counter' ideally with a blue LED display. It would ideally have a memory, so that I could switch it off , and it would not reset the counter. It would need a power switch, and a button to manually advance the counter. It would ideally be wired into the vans electrics. The whole thing will,(if I ever get it off the ground) be mounted into the dash, probably to replace the ash tray, so it's not a massive bit of kit I am looking for. I went into Maplins and they suggested I try an online forum to see if anyone can help with the parts I would need, and some very very detailed idiot proof instructions on how to make it !
Fingers crossed !!!
Cheers
JK
