Don't forget that the LED will drop = a=20 good part of the voltage, so the resistor can probably be smaller (unless=20 you've already taken this into account) -- Bob Ammerman RAm Systems --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
