Rick from NC

Hello everyone, my name is Rick.  I am a software engineer and have been tinkering with electronics most of my life.  I have designed and prototyped a number of printed circuit boards using Eagle.  My current project is to take a frequency schematic and add an Atmega328 to the design.  This chip will be used during the initialization phase of the circuit to make sure the frequency out of the 555 timer is in the 30 kHz range.  If the range is acceptable, the circuit will then add power to the reset of the circuit. 

I enjoy watching the video's produced by Bill and look forward to this forum.
