The power comes from the trickle charge to a 12 v alarm battery. I have a pretty well filtered supply because of the supply wires running parallel to 120v AC wires.

One more item re the generator. I want to know when it is running. A little Rf remote system seemed the way to go, but I had to sense when the unit was running. Since it is an emergency unit, I did...
Correction, the relay I use is a G3VM-62C1. It costs $3.19, quite a bargin I think.
And yes, it always delays a restart after the power goes out, but only after the power goes out. As long as to...
No, but I have assumed it is pretty good, as its source is the trickle current to the burglar alarm back up battery. I put my Fluke meter on it, and as I recall the ac ripple south of the vr was OK.
I didn’t find any relays for $10 –$ 15 which would delaystart up when all power is out but I did find an Omeron G3VM61A1 solid state two pole single throw relay rated for 60 Vac/dc, 500 ma for ...
I do fairly simple stuff using PIC Basic (not “Pro”) mostly using chips to drive switches and as timers. I have had a couple of chips fail (12f629) which has not been a big deal but I wonder about...
Thanks. I finally got it to work by moving my programs as a sub folder to PBC, and offering to share PBC and its sub folders with the universe. It did ask abiut running as administrator, and I said...
Now, after removing "raed only" tags i get the error messsage "can't create run.bat"
I am still out of business. (I have reinstalled all related programs of course.0
I use PICBasic, (not Pro.)
When I try to compile using Microcode Studio, I get "out of memory, PBC.EXE."
I am using Windows 7, and have compressed most of my hard drive, but not the PBC...
I have a thermostat with a built in delay of 5 min after a power outage to protect my air conditioner. The power must be off at least 15 seconds before the thermostat recognizes that the power is...
I never found the button command worth the trouble. I just insert a short pause to eliminate bounce problems. 10 - 15 ms.
I made a capacitor checker using a 16F84A which works very well within limits. It uses the pot command. The code in PICBasic (not Pro) is:
' Capacitor Measurement
' Four digit common anode...
Last time I investigated photo transistors, I found that they (at least the ones I acquired) had a very sharp change in status (off - on.) Not good for controling on at dark lights, as adjustment for...
While I still have trouble with Bruce's code, I went back to the PIC data sheet, and tried the following code which delivers 113Khz, and the circuit delivers 15.2 volts out to 5 high bright LEDs....
You are too advanced for me, I don't recognize the code. I know PIC Basic some, and a little assembler. Up to now, that has been more than enough. But you are giving me hope.

Alain - I don't know those chips. I admit only to a modest understanding of PICs and PIC basic. I have programmers for only PICs and Basic Stamp I's. Additional programmers look expensive for...
I saw an article in Nuts & Volts about a voltage booster to power an led flashlight. The oscillator was an ATtiny 11L chip programmed off and on, with a 4mHz internal clock. The article indicated...
No, a small motor turns a shaft using gears. The limit switches are operated by cams on the shaft. There is not room to add another microswitch,
If you don't need much current, add a 1K resistor in series and a parallel zener diode.
Building a remote water valve. The valve motor limit switchs provides full line voltage when limit is achieved. I want to use this for transmission of feedback to the controler.
I know I can use...
1. Downloaded latest version of MicroCode Studio
2. Made a new folder under ProgramFiles\Mecanique\MCS for my programs
3. Moved that folder to where I want it so it is easy to find and back up....
I got a new lap top with Vista Basic. Loaded the PicBasic compiler, and all was well for about 3 days.
Then 'Studio complained that it couldn't compile because the source directory was read only....
Here are files that should work.
The Copper file is a high quality actual size x-ray view that can be used to make a circuit board.
The copper top and circuit are OK I hope.
"Zipping" the...
Attached should be .gif files for the circuit board and circuit, .txt files for the PICbasic program and notes.
OK the .gif files are too big. I'll try again.
Found it. I'll try without the .zip, as they are not very big. I will change the .bas file to .txt first.
Thanks
