Hay there. Thank you so very much for reading my post. I have been SO busy in the real world that it has been hard for me to get this project done in a time frame that would let me get this does with a few weeks before its actually due for my schedule.
I have posted a question a month or so about a counter that would add a light and with a push of another button would take one away with a buzz noise on the add and maybe a reset button.
This was for simple order board for the fair booth I have that comes up in the first of August and as well as a counting toy for my toddler (a silly remake of it).
But what I guess I am asking now is this. To make a sort of simplified version using a board (real wood board that is used in the booth now when the fair is in town) I have already made I am looking to create something that will light up a light by my fryers end (where I stand) and show up a light for each of the things I sell so I can read how many of what are out and need to be made.
These lights light up when a little plastic card is lifted off its nail and given to the customer as proof of there order and product they ordered (this helps for busy times) when this card is taken off this nail and given over it lights up a LED or light of some kind on my end under the appropreate section showing me what was sold. I quick buzz would be nice if only for a second but mostly looking for it to just light up.
So any ideas on how to make a light up when something is taken off. I have rolled a few ideas already in my head but they all sound more work then I might be willing to do. So maybe someone here has a clever idea because I know there are lots of kick butt people who have great ideas. You all can't hide from me because I see you posting all the time!
Well anyhow. I am off like a wild herd of turtles for now.
Cheers and best wishes folks. I hope your 7-7-07 was lucky!
Sincerely,
Kevin in Alaska
