Re: Sequencer Project - It doesn't work!

2007-08-31 by stuadh

Hi,

I've posted the circuit diagrammes for the sequencer. Please excuse
the My First Circuit by Jonny aged 8 look. I've missed out some of
the circuit that doesn't affect the main body for clarity. It can be
found in Files/Programmer

Yours Aye
