Need ideas if you have a free minuite
(OP)
I will start off by admitting I am a true ME, in that my electronics knowledge stops at RLC. So bare with me if you can.
Without getting into to much detail, I need a method to control multiple DC vibration motors. A simplified example would be a digital watch (with a vibration alarm setting). So basically I need some type of electronic circuit that can be programmed trigger these motors at a given time. Ideally I would like to be able to control the vibration pattern, but for now just on or off.
The only design constraint I have is to keep it small. Again, comparable to the circuitry in a digital watch. Any advice that could lead me in the right direction would be great. Thanks!

Otherwise.. can't you find a vibrating alarm watch with multiple setpoints??

The PIC catalog CD includes a pretty decent simulator that may help you skip a few generations, but the usual way to do this stuff is make up a breadboard, develop the software and hardware on that, and then shrink the system to fit in the package you want to use.
This would probably be a good time to get a local EE buddy interested in your project....

Sorry Mike I probably got here just as you started to answer.
