Yes, I am familiar with the 555...
Where would you recomend buying these components (not the 55 I have one of those)? Would you happen to have a few lying around? -
So If I would use bianary the circuit would look something like this??(attached)
How does a binary display work (how do you read it)?
I like this design more because it is alot simpler.
Sundar said that I would need a signal inverter because of how I was going to use the counter. Is it still needed?
Thank you soo much for all of you guy's help so far!
When I get sometimes I'm going to draw out sundar's circuit... Becasue I would really rather have the 7 segment display...

Thank you again for all of your help, I really appreciate it! where would you recomend buying the ICs from, any particular website?
-
I live in eastern US. Other stuff being sodd, board, and resistors? I have all of that stuff lying around...
-
Thank You very much!
It doesn't look as complicated as I thought it might be.
So how much would this cost in parts? -
What do you mean by stun glove?

Thank you very much! ;D

So recently two other friends and myself took on the project of making a device that launches tenis balls. I would like some sort of counter that counts how many balls that have been shot. My concept was have the counter be able to count how many times the ir beam had been broken and display the number up to 3 digits... Unfortunatly I have no idea of where to start... I tried googleing electronis counter project and different variations and the results were always "electronis counter measure"... I'm lost. ???

Thankyou for your response, but being new into the ic world I have no idea how to wire such a thing... So maybe more of what I was asking is there anywhere I could find a schematic of such a thing?
-
I need something capeable of counting and displaying the number of times the IR beam is broken... I don't really know where to start... I'd like to display it on a 3 digit 7-segment led display. Is there anyway to do this with out a programer? Feedback and help is much appreciated! ;D

how about some kind of moddified printer/scanner drive belt with a metal plate attached on the top to rest the glass on? So instear of tring to buy a belt wide enoungh for the glass use a thinner one...

I don't know. I know very little about IC's and not enough to know the difference between them. I have used a 555 timer in one of my projects before, I got the directions ofline. It worked, but I don't know why or how it worked.
This is a very vast topic I know...
Is there a beggining to start at? -
-
I have completed the project finally (it was a while before I found the time and patientce to finish)...
Again, thank you for all your help and guidance.
Recently my project was hosted on Hackaday.com
Here is a link to the finished project: http://wishi-waspecial.livejournal.com/77678.html

Stick a pot in there and adjust it to the dimness you want, measure its resistance and wire-in a resistor of that value. Grin
Very good idea, thank you for all your help.
I'll keep you posted on how it goes. -
I was thinking some where alont those lines...
So if I took out the 10k pot would I have to recalculate the value for the two resistors?
If so what is the formula? -
So, if I remove the pot what other method could I use to dim the leds. (I would at least like to have two different brightness settings..)
Fast internet is always good... -
Again, thank you for your quick reply and of course the time you took to make the schematic for me.
Alas, I have more questions...
Is there anything that could be done to increase the life of the pot?
...and being a junior in high school and planning on at least minoring in electrical engineering in college my question to you is how did you get to be where you are today? (tips, tricks, advice)
Thank you again,

Thank you for your quick reply...
My transformer has an output of 12vdc.
Being the novice that I am, I don't have a full understanding for electronics so could you elaborate on what I need to do to fix this circuit and make it work with 4 leds without burning out, please?
Thank you again for your quick response.

So I recently bought a lot of leds off ebay, here are the specs:
Quantity: 100
Luminous Intensity Typ Iv (mcd) : 4000(Typical) ~ 5000(Max)
Size: 5mm / 0.2 inches
Operation Voltage: 3.2V - 3.6V
Reverse current (uA): Less than 30uA
Life Rating: 100,000 Hours
Viewing angle: 25 - 35 degree
Absolute Maximum Ratings (Ta=25
IR gate counter HELP!

Futurlec.com is AWESOME! I was surprised at how cheap everything was and how cheap shipping was... Thank you for telling me about it!
I spent $20 and got a bundle of goodies...
