What is the accuracy you want for the timing, delays, events ?
Room temperature application or wide environmental temperature operation ?
Do you care about power up / down glitches ?
Is the trigger source mechanical contacts, that would need debouncing to generate
a clean valid trigger signal ?
Typical pushbuttons, toggle switch or relay contacts unbounced signal -

This is all you would need for coding in mBlock for the Arduino chip or board -

If you need debounce easy to add that.

Usally, I only mention these stats (like most Hobbyists) that you mentioned if they are considered important in the design.
ALL of MY designs that I usually request on here are really Loosey-Goosey...to get me into the ballpark, and if I require something a bit more, at least I have the basic building blocks to start with.
Sometimes people like
crutschow are nice enough, and skilled enough to provide me with everything I need, and I can just use their design straight up...and thats absolutely GREAT!
I usually dont even indicate voltages, as I will either simply start my design using the voltages that are required by the supplied design, or I tweek it, and change it accordingly.
I dont need pin numbers , etc., as I can look them up myself, and things like standard Pnp/Npn transistors pinouts are pretty much standard.
Simple things like debouncing, switches and stuff like that I will add myself.
Usually, I only deal with 4 supply voltages 3,6,9,12Vdc, like most hobbyists', but of course, I can take any voltage down using Zeners, and Regulators, voltage/switching glitches are dealt with normally, without even thinking of it.
If I miss something, or something that actually effects the original design that I cannot deal with....I will ask for additional help.
I like to kid myself, thinking that I have a bit more basic knowledge than the standard Hobbyist but alas, I often fail in this.
Thank you for your comments. Kim
