Well, all I know is that I would use 555 timer IC's and the rest is a mystery....
It's a count down timer for small boat racing that operates like this... Need three, 1 second pulses at initial start (@ 3 minutes) Two, 1 second pulses one minute later (@ 2 minutes) One, 1 second pulse one minute later (@ 1 minute) Three, half second pulses 30 seconds later (@ 30 seconds) Two, half second pulses 10 seconds later. (@ 20 seconds) One, half second pulse 10 seconds later (@ 10 seconds) Four 1/4 second pulses every one second, 5 seconds later (@ 5 seconds) One one second pulse at -0- seconds. Anybody... |

sounds like something easier accomplished with a computer.
or else, multiple circuits. one circuit to do all that could get hairy. maybe have one circuit firing, start another...?

Computer is not a possiblility... Too wet, too much exposure to elements.
Cascaded 555's/556's is certainly a possibility. |

I'd have thought a PIC or similar would be ideal for that application.

I made a very similar thing for photographic processing many years ago, based on cascaded 555s. Easy and effective - just make sure that the ICs are adequately decoupled, or they may 'go off' on the wrong pulses!

7217, 4017, 4541, MM5369 will come handy in such design
