> Thanks. Now I cannot find where I read that (I've read so many web pages over the last week). Maybe I dreamed it. (-: You are learning so much so fast that it's hard to fugure out what goes where :-) ! You must be having great fun! :-) You MAY be confusing this with the square wave applied to an LCD which MUST be 50% duty cycle. If not 50% then there is a DC components and you get an elctrolytic cell and the LCD dies rather quickly. The actuial requirement is "no DC" so you can actually have e4g a 40/60 square wave BUT it would need to be assymerical above and below ground so mean DC = 0. Using a series capacitor to fed the voltage ensures this. RM -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways. See http://www.piclist.com/#archives for details.
