Just pondering this on my way to work...after being annoyed by some of the new LED based taillights If you want to vary the brightness of an LED, would it be better to vary the voltage, say a PWM circuit driving a voltage-follower transitor, or adjust the circuit voltage (ie the resistor using a digital pot) ? _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
