I've used a 4046 but it looks like there is something better with a digital interface that works a higher frequency. What is the easiest to use and with affordable prices.
BTW While working with a bare PIC requires some hard to acquire skills, new uP platforms like Arduino make software easy for just about anyone. -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
