Thank you much, even though I'm a newbie here, I know it's taboo to asked for such, but I honestly learn better by example like this it gives me a much better start on figuring the rest out. I have spent countless hours trying to figure out stupid stuff, and yes I learned how to do it, but I would have learned it just as well if someone set me in the right direction.

Parts were ordered this weekend so I should have them later this week and can test this all out, hoping for the best.

Also you had mentioned Digikey for the part, Mouser has then for about $1 cheaper but they don't carry the DIP version but if the SO-24 works for you it might be considered.
