Hi all Sorry for this OT request. I am need of some design work to be done. It is all basic power supply stuff involving stepping up / down depending on whether it is running off an axu supply or rechargeable batteries. Charging the bats and some other on off control stuff. Ideally you will be in the SE of England but not compulsory. I will pay a reasonably rate. If you can help please e-mail me at tim@tjbsystems.com Thanks Tim -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways. See http://www.piclist.com/#archives for details.
