I'm very new to circuit building. I've played around with some minor stuff before but it was just following tutorials to accomplish something specific.
I would like to build on my skills, however I have a project that I need to complete fairly quickly, so I was hoping someone might know of a tutorial that I could follow for this project?
I'm a volunteer basketball coach for a non-profit organization. I need to get a scoreboard but the cheapest one available is about $700 which my team does not have.
I would like to find a tutorial online somewhere that can show me how to build a circuit board to handle a timer. It doesn't have to be too complicated, this is what it needs:
1. Set a time (ie. 4 minutes, 8 minutes, 12 minutes) and have it count down to 0:00.
2. Sound a buzzer when it hits 0:00
3. Have the Home/Away score keeping. +1 / -1 buttons
4. Have the Home/Away fouls. +1 / -1 buttons.
So, I guess I would need to put a keypad so that the time could be set. So, if there is a powerfailure or something, then I can set (e.g. 2:38) back on the clock.
Any ideas or resources anyone can point me too?
