Andy did you look at the ( pictures )circuit ?

How about sugesting a better way to put this guy on the
right track

I posted a practical circuit that can be used to control resistive
inductive or capacitive loads, use one PIC pin, very simple to
control, the circuit requires no calibration, is easily repeatable,
is not timing sensitive and requires no syncronization

would it not be more productive to correct the less viable/
workable sugestions

As for not being able to read attachments
windows bitmap is probably the easiest for most people
As for not wanting to, well if they don't want to learn
then why are the on the list ??
