Would ballpark timing in the 100's of % be fine ?

Thats what you get with 555 timers over T and V and Bulk cap tolerances.
Datasheet very misleading as it shows its timing with a relatively small cap,
.1 uF, not a bulk electolytic type cap whose intial tolerance can be in the
100's of % tolerance at room T.

But I suppose one can always throw in a pot to adjust for these difficulties.

Even worse with logic gate based timing, where threshold varies dramatically.
Add that to bulk cap tolerance and you have a system that may or not blink in
your lifetime.....:)

How did we ever get by, prior to Microcontrollers...... hell even get to the moon without them??

We had a computer onboard. Used carefully characterized components in circuits.
Used to have lab standards to measure against.



I have scopes from the late 40's and 50's that have fairly precise timing capability.

heres an rc system which chain reacts across. it would work for what u want, except the problem
is it needs not be an input pulse, it needs to be solid power going in, then it delays on at the end of the chain.

Thank you Dragon. Not EXACTLY what I need, but still useful
