I am certain switching the relay itself (without any load) does not cause any restarts because of the timing of the restarts. (the SX plays a unique tune on the speaker upon startup) The relay coil only takes 35mA when energized continuously. Can you give an example of the "additional diode-capacitor filtering off of the 5V regulator"? Thanks. PJ Allen, Sorry about the 10k resistor. I originally wanted it but the board ran out of space.... really. ---------- End of Message ---------- You can view the post on-line at: http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=7&p=1&m=304658#m305606 Need assistance?
