Hello, consider me a totally newbie, and one which may be jumping in at the deep end! But, I am looking to build a time capture unit. I want to start small, and work up to more advance.

So to start small, I am looking at building a LED box with 8 digits (minutes, seconds, milliseconds) which starts when a beam is broken, and stops when another beam is broken. So the start and finish line.

Looking at Maplin for components, or online store, and the best book to help me understand what I am doing, so I can grow the system.

How best should I start? I am thinking of building the LED timer case first ?

Thanks for your advice.

Take a look at www.cpc.co.uk they're a lot cheaper than Maplin & have much better selection.
