thanks for all the help man
Im gonna get started on this ASAP -
After doing some research i developed another question.
How do I program the microcontroller? do I need to buy one of those "starter kits" I see in the same product page or is there another way?
What package/case should I get? I find the same controller w/ 13 variations(less than half are in stock, lol) I think I have figured it out and have a feeling this is a noob qeustion, but I wanna do it right.
And also I do live in the US so getting parets shouldnt be a problem -
wow, that helps alot, I really appericate the help. I can already think of a slue of other things I can use this for. How would I go about use it to switch on higher voltage things like for a 12V auto system, would a simple relay work or is there a chip that would do the job??
I just hope its half as easy as it sounds, lol, can wait to try it out!! -
that sounds like exactly what I need
where do I find the parts and schematics? -
You are right. It will step 1 through 4...unless you change the direction bit. This is what I though you were looking to build.

not exactly, I am wanting it to work like that but the control is not what I want. I need it to be controllered by 2 switches without out having to change the direction of step in the sequence, to where switch 1 always steps up regardless of where it is in the sequence and switch 2 always steps down regraudless of where it is in the sequence.
The best example i can think of is like the channel changer buttons on a TV or the seek buttons on a digital radio -
I think I understand the schmatics, but how does it control which way it steps. The way i see it is that it goes step 1, step 2, step 3, step 4, step 1, ect. in a continious loop. I need it to be controlled from 2 switches, one for stepping up and 1 for stepping down

Tony,
I suggest you go through the projects in our projects section to see if there are some elements that can be put together to achieve what you are wanting to do. At the top of the page, you will see a blue button (link) named projects. Click on it and it takes you to an impressive sized library of projects that have been uploaded to this site.

I should have thought of that, lol
I think I found something that might work
See attached image;
Its from the project for the digital volume controller.
Ignoring the parts for actual volume control(crossed out in red), I could use the rest of the controller to do what I was thinking of correct? Only I now have the option of 16 outputs instead of the 4 I was looking for.
What do you think? -
nothing at all?

I am come what new the the electronics field. I am looking into making some sort of controller but my knowledge is very limited. Any help would be most appreciated.
Anyway, what I am looking to do is make some sort of controller like a volume or channel button on a remote control. So there will be two buttons, if i hit 1 button it will move up 1 selection in a series of four selections, if I hit the other it will go the other direction in the series of selections. There will be 4 possible selection. This will be done to turn on and off two objects. So selection 1 would be both objects off, selection 2 would be object 1 on and object 2 off, selectiion 3 would be both on, and selection 4 would be object 1 off and object 2 on.
Is this possible to do?
Is there something like this already made?
And please dont let my lack of knowledge lead to a false judgement of me, I am a quick and eager learner.
Thanks for your help,
Tony

They only have 2 that are DIP in stock and the only difference I see between them is speed, one is 10 mhz and the other is 20 mhz, or am I completely off?
