Hi All,
I would like to design a circuit that receives an input from four different buttons, each time a button is depressed, it adds a predetrmine value to the running total. Example: button 1 has a value of 15. If I press button 1 the value on an LCD shows 15. If I press it twice, the value increments to 30. Additionally, if I press button 2 which has a value of 55, it functions that same as button 1 but with 55 being added to teh existing value of 30.
So in the example if I push button 1 twice, and button 2 three times I get 30+30+55+55+55 = 225 which displays on the LCD.
Questions:
1. Can this be done with a PIC or other MicroController?
2. What do I need to get started on this quest?
3. If it's overly difficult, Is there a place I can have this built/designed for me?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
