In mind this is a finite state machine. I would want to see an exhaustive state diagram. The circuit could be made using nothing but relays. Or it could be made with a single eprom and some caps. Or transistors and caps. Or 74xx logic chips like flip flops. Or a MCU chip or CPU based

Chuck, I'll be working with the kids again tonight. Hopefully we'll have time to go in a bit more detail. The 555 is appealing being it can do many things. We can use it as a timer, we can use it to flash leds, etc. The kids will only have to learn about the 555, caps and resistors. -- Best

Two suggestions. 1) go to radio shack and get an ardunio starter kit. May want to do this even if you do number two. This is the modern way to do this and you can show both the schematic for i/o and the program. 2) I can do what you are describing with four or so dpdt relays. One for each

Forrest, Time delayed relay, that may be the ticket. Never worked with them before, but that would be the easiest to explain to 6th 7th grader with ZERO electrical experience. Going to start some googleing -- Best regards, Markmailto:m...@mailmt.com Myakka

Last one I bought was from Amazon. The challenge will likely be finding one at the voltages you're taking about. Without the time delay relay, you can do everything but the timed reset. On Jan 9, 2015 11:00 AM, Mark - Myakka Technologies m...@mailmt.com wrote: Forrest, Time delayed relay,

Make something simple with 3 binary timers (http://www.radioshack.com/nte74ls163a-ic-ttl-binary-counter/55051075.html#q=counterstart=1). So you would need an oscillator. You can make one with a couple of cross-coupled transistors or just use a couple of cross-connected flip-flips. Feed
