Matt, THere are no stupid questions. In other words, any question is a valid one and often generates unexpected answers. Keep posting good questions. Glad to see you are experimenting around with this stuff. I started out by buying a dozen op amps and plugging 11 of them in backwards before I figured out what the little dimple on pin 1 was for. If I'd had a PIClist to ask dumb questions on I would have only fried 3 or 4 of them. BTW I can't spEll neiTher. Ignore these wags who are a little too PICky sometimes about irrelevant things like SpeLLin.
