> Voila... > Dave I've had a go at your circuit and operation (always in the market for more noise) http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/joecolquitt/davedong.html but it doesna seem to work as you described. What you get is a continuous tone for 1 second. No decay ;-((( The traces show the ~ 1kHz PIC output and the signal to the audio amp OK (if shorter) for a keyboard beep though Any ideas for a fixit ? A diode or two ? PS, based on TMR0 IRQ, no good for 12C users, sorry -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways. See http://www.piclist.com/#archives for details.
