THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU I am going through those web sites you suggested and love every minute. They are brilliant, I wish I understood them a bit more, but with more years behind me than I have in front of me I do worry if I have time to learn all the things necessary to produce a finished item, so here I am, cap in hand, are there any kits around that can cut the learning curve? With fingers crossed Regards Jim

Thank everyone for you

Thank you for that warm welcome Ante. As a Gas Engineer I have to carry out Gas Pressure tests on a premise. The first part is to connect a U Gauge of water to the pipe work to be tested. I time this for one minute, if the water hasn’t gone up it means that the main inlet valve is not letting bye. Next I increase the pressure to a higher level and allow a further one minute for the temperature of the incoming gas levels off. I now read the level of the water in the U Gauge and wait for a further two minutes, if the level hasn’t dropped the pipe work is sound. What I need is a timer, or probably two timer’s one for one minute and one for two minutes. At present we use a standard stop watch but this is another piece of kit to carry, as we usually work in dark places a timer with a green and red LED (start and stop) and a Beep would be so much better. It has to be compact to fit into the U Gauge and have an on/off switch. Unfortunately I am not very good at explaining things; I hope this gives you some idea. Any suggestions or ideas will be gratefully received. Kind Regards Jim

I am trying to develop an invention that I have a real passion for but I need to make or buy a timer. Well its two timers really, the first one lights up after one minute and the second after an additional two minutes. Can any of you kind people point me in the right direction? Kind Regards Jim
