True, I can see that point, although the examples of using binary powers
etc was a little above my head, most of the programming I have to do is
alot more simpler, condition reactions to control and simple item
counting, but it sounds good and I would like to see a worked example.

thats the but, you designed and built a prototype to eventually sell, go
for it, would not want to stop you etc, but the original post was for a
group of lie minded individuals to get together and build something
together at cheap cost and be a learning process, which just copying a
design isnt.
The journey can be as enjoyable as the destination, if this was not the
case, people would not buy jigsaws/model aircraft etc..........
