Word Clock Update #1 8/30: Electrical design

I'am basically done with the schematic design for my word clock.  For those of you who are interested, I am using a microcontroller S08GT8 by Freescale.  This controller comes in DIP package, and has many GPIOs.  The S08 line of micros are similar to PIC by Microchip, but tend to be more powerful and the spec tend to be more robust (Temperature ratings, and debugging capabilities).  You will see many hobbiest use PIC, but most commercial applications use the S08 (and the HC08) by Freescale.  I love these micros.  All my hobby projects are done with HC08 and HCS08.  NOW you can buy micros straight from Freescale!  YES even one single unit!!!!!  Check out their page www.Freescale.com
