I'm currently building a mid sized camera rocket using a Kodak F-350
aps
camera, it has an electronic shutter. I will be using two switches the
first
will engage very shortly after ignition and the second will make
momentary
contact when the chute opens.

  The first switch will start a program where a 1/2 second pulse will
be
triggered every 1.5 seconds for a total of 5 pulses then when the
second
switch engages the first program is bypassed and a second program
starts a
1/2 second pulse every 5 seconds for a total of 5 pulses, then the
chip
shuts down regardless of any input.

I'm very new with programming and have only programmed one pic with
the
blink program and it didnt work once put in the circuit, I have a few
pic16F84A and have some 12F675 comming in soon. I have quite a bit of
electronic knowledge, but programming is greek to me.

Anything that would help would be great
Mike
