Sorry for the possibly repeated question..... I want the cheapest PIC that has internal clock good to 5% , input from switch, output to triac and output to 20 ma bi-color LED. Should the LED be buffered ? I want to run this off 220VAC / 110VAC as cheeeeeply as possible. Should I use a resistor and zener ? Unit will have PIC, one pushbutton, one triac, one bi-color LED, AC plug and socket. It will be an inline power switch ( on/off only ) Best Gus -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
