Reply to "Semaphore and 555 Timer Circuit"

I like the Arduino, and it would work as well.  However, for a one-PCB solution, I lean to the embedded uP model.  The downside of the PIC is you do need to invest around $50 for the Microchip PICKIT 4 to program them.  However, having a single board with all the electronics on it is a powerful draw, at least for me.  Another plus is the boards are smaller, have a lot less components, and thus are cheaper and easier to make.  Finally, if you screw up the logic, you can fix it with your computer, no chopping traces to alter the logic.
