Here's a rather strange one: I've had the clever notion that I'd like to operate my garden lights by means of a PIC-based timer. The catch is that I wish to use oil lamps, not the usual 12V bulbs. My dillema occurs in trying to devise a method of electronic ignition for an oil lamp; so far my experiments have produced unimpressive results by using a simple spark ignitor. Has anyone else toyed with such a system and have any ideas of what I might try to safely, and consitently light an oil lantern? thnx ian _______________________________________________ http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
