AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking a schematic for a stopwatch circuit that counts seconds and 1/100ths of seconds for a high school engineering project, requiring a start/stop button and a reset button. They found existing projects but need additional functionality for 1/100ths of a second display. Suggestions include using a microcontroller to simplify the design. The discussion emphasizes the importance of accurate timing and user-friendly controls. Assistance with circuit design or microcontroller programming is requested.

Hello,
I am in need of a schematic for a circuit that acts as a stopwatch which counts and displays seconds and 1/100ths of seconds for a high school engineering project. The circuit would have two input switches: one that acts as a start/stop button and one that acts as a reset button. After searching around on the internet, the closest thing I have found were these:

http://www.electronics-lab.com/projects/oscillators_timers/014/index.html
http://www.electronics-lab.com/projects/oscillators_timers/015/index.html

These would work except that I need it to display 1/100ths of a second as well. Having minutes also would be helpful but not necessary. Could anybody help me figure out how I could do this?
Thanks, any help is appreciated.

Do you know how to use a microcontroller? It'd be dead simple with one.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
