(Set the Reply-to to myself, PLEASE reply off-list.)

I need to set up an electroplating system, hopefully someplace around
here, to plate small objects (Mostly Gold plating onto Silver, for
someone who wants same.)  Need more expertise.

My thought's to PWM from 5V down to the 1.2V (or whatever it is!), it's
been YEARS (literally!) since I did electroplating.  I can handle the
PIC programming ('F84, or 'C84, I think), may ask for more help in doing
current detection later, just need some off-list help for how to do
this.

IIRC you can basically set up the right electrolyte, and just turn the
voltage up until you get some current - and that's about the right
voltage to set it at.  Sounds JUST right for a PIC project to me, one
chip handles plating anything with anything else basically <G>  And the
PIC will know to turn things off after some time delay (Shift registered
in from a couple BCD switches, I think.)  Should be a good 'F84
project...
