Reset on 2-digit LED counter

[james6]

I'm looking to make a simple scoreboard out of a couple 2-digit LED counters.  I found something that looks pretty simple to use here: http://www.surplusshed.com/pages/item/k1046.html , but I have a couple questions.

1) is there any way to add a reset to this item?  so I wouldn't have to go to 99 before getting back to zero?

2) is there a way to wire two buttons to the counter instead of the one shown?  I think this means wiring in parallel?

Thanks!

Hi James,

basically every counter has a reset input pin. Just from a photo I can't tell what kind of counter IC is used.

May be you'll obtain a schematic if you purchase the kit.

If you do so post the schematic her for further assistance.

Why not ask the supplier?

They're the one's who designed it.

I E-mailed then a while back and never heard - that's when I thought I'd try this forum.  Let me see if I can get a schematic and post for some more help ... thanks.

Have you tried calling or writing to them?

Emails are too easy to ignore or get blocked by a spam filtering system.

We won't be able to help you give us the schematic or at least a clear photograph of the PCB so we know what counter IC is used.

Otherwise it's like asking a mechanic what's wrong with your car without telling him whether it's fuel injected, the engine size, number of cylinders, etc.
