Timer?

Archiver

I was woundering if it was possible to make an external device that
basicly is a timer that sends a signal out for ten minutes then does
NOT send a signal for 30 minutes and then a signal for 10 minutes and
so fourth. like on for 10 then off for 30 then on 10 off 30. what i
need to do it make the timer and link it up to my Basic stamp 2 sx.
I'm making a automated pool system and I need to turn the pump on for
10 min then off for 30 min and so fourth. If it is possible to do can
someone send me a diagram of how to make it. All help is welcome

Thanks ahead of time for any trouble

I think a simpler solution would be to attach an RTC (like the DS1302) so
that you can time and schedule your events. The Parallax web site has plenty
of documentation on the use of the DS1302.
