>BUT, i have a 50Hz superimposed over my signal, >and showme not really what i expect This sounds as though the power supply to the circuit you were looking at is floating and not earthed. If you connected the scope probe ground lead to a ground terminal on the power supply (which seems likely from the way you write) then the power supply output probably is floating with respect to ground. Join the black and green terminal on the power supply together, and the hum signal should go away. -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
