I don't understand this. I was indeed going to come from 120VAC to a irrigation wall wart (26vac) to the triacs. Then sip power off of the 26vac through a wheatstone bridge (to convert to DC) then to the 7805 to drop it down to 5vdc. Hmmm. Now that I say all of that, are they going to have different grounds? I'm sooooo confused! :-) ---------- End of Message ---------- You can view the post on-line at: http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=7&p=1&m=208526#m208812 Need assistance?
