I have to say the suggestions look, well, daunting to someone who solders basic components infrequently. Fortunately the chips are not that expensive if you flub it. I can do the same job to meet my needs with 2 binary counters, two Johnson counters and a few gates. It will take up much more room though, but my confidence is a little better with these. I have to say that I tested the stability of the SX making 40KHz driving waves and seemed just about as stable on my o-scope as a pure crystal+inverter oscillator...oh wait, the SX has crystals, inverters and oscillatates! My main issue is soldering. If I can over come that, no prob. ---------- End of Message ---------- You can view the post on-line at: http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=7&p=1&m=105557#m105677 Need assistance?
