It also contains links to this post and the ZIP package on my website. The DOC file grew to 34MB. It was sent to a CN administrator for further processing into an article. Will post when it's ready, probably months. Working on another project now. It's a user programmable camera controller with display and custom keyboard. First version will be designed for a Panasonic FZ50 camera. However, you can buy an intervalometer much cheaper. I'm doing it to develop a general purpose display and keyboard for projects requiring user I/O.

Retyping multiple pages of code is prone to mistakes. I was surprised how quickly the article was published. I was expecting many months but it was only about three weeks. Thanks again for the suggestion.
