Actually Marcel, I will be using a PIC16F72 series for the code testing, et= c.=A0 It is just that for the actual application we don't want to use re-pr= ogrammable ucontrollers.=A0 I am hoping to just not have to write everythin= g from scratch if something is already out there from someone here on the l= ist. =A0 Thank you replying.

This sounds like a straight forward project as long as you take care of any possible hazardous outcomes.
