hmmmm.... that was a while ago i bet i was using a ne555 and scr (ne555 set to generate a pulse every 5min the scr is a switch that doesn't turn off until it runs out of power on the collector side) i cant give you any of the values for the resistors caps on the ne555. since then i have moved to pic micro controllers which are more complicated to program but require less supporting components

Does this mean that you wasted micro-controllers on annoying the faculty?(nice job btw )

no i used a ne555 (cost like 30 cents) and a scr (which was probably just lying around) since then i have moved to micro controllers, but you can get an 8 pin one for about a dollar and find most of the supporting components in a dead stereo or tv

ps - thanks i the only thing i have been planing lately is posing as student consul members and handing out letters to the middle schoolers that say the bus will come an hour earlier ( the high school is right next to the middle school where i live). i haven't scheming that much lately normally by this point in the year i would have like five things lined up
