Here are some of the specifications for this timer that is yet to be built.

Power Source : AA's or 5 - 12 Volts DC plug pack (solves those pesky CE C-tick, FCC Part 15 Electrical regulations)

On activation beep 3 times flash led 3 times then start counting up
At 0 seconds trigger 12Volts/Relay switch ( user implemented after purchase) Switched Terminal Block. Beep at each major f stop , e.g. 4 seconds 8s, 16 s 32s 64s.
Provison to beep also at 1/3 stops between 8 seconds to 64 seconds.
e.g. count up to 8 seconds and beep at each 1/3 stop.
ability to set range for beeps. - helps with making test strips.
at end of counting period trigger 1 long beep and simultaneously trigger the relay to switch the enlarger off. (user to implement)

Functionality enhancements:

Footswitch Function : Olleorama - 17th Nov 2010

The target price should be around $39.00.

1) Make up finished items - small run of 20 units for initial evaluation

2) Offer schematics and board layout free to anyone

3) Write up the software to control the timer- offer binary code to anyone.

4) Allow other developers to write code for unit for customisation

5) Get a repository going for those who want to offer modified code based on the board layout. Freeware GNU style.
