Thanks. I checked out the link and while I can say that I have some idea of what they are saying generally it is beyond me.
From what I can gather, though, is that it would have too many problems for me.
Too many components.
Wants 18 volts and I have 5 to offer.
Uses commands that aren't in PicBasic.
I do think I need to read the input (obviously), but what to do with it? A 555 timer could send pulses. Probably something else could to, but that be simpler? Regardless, I don't know what to do with said pulses.
I'm sure my first attempt won't be exactly what I have in mind. A bit of a steep learning curve for me.

P.S. I picked the 12F629 pic just because it is small. It may not be the best choice. I also am looking at 16F676 to have more I/O options if needed as a way to the end of the random number puzzle. As long as the chip is fairly small I'm interested in suggestions there too.
