Elementary electronics question here. How can I hook a mike to a PIC input so it triggers at a certian level? I am guessing one could do it with a transistor and pot for adjusting the trigger level, but I have been unable to rig anything up that works. Ack. Vaguely EE related question.. any opinions on the best CNC routers for doing protoboards? Looking for $10k and under price range. Thanks! 15 years of software programming have NOT prepared me for the hardware end of things, even if the PIC assembly came easily at least. :-) -- Ian -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
