Ive just connected the audio amp circuit up and for some reason that causes the PIC to constantly reset too in the same way the 555 does. The audio circuit has some extra capacitors on so i would have thought that should help.
I tried connecting the audio circuit on the same regulator as the 555 and everything works. The only thing i noticed is that i had to change the POT to get the IR receivers to pick a signal up.
So, the 555 and audio circuit both cause problems with the PIC but the IR emitters that use more current than everything else put together have no effect on it. Im really confused
Edit: I just remembered something else too. When i press the button on my smoke machine the PIC resets. Ive had this problem in the past too. I wonder if this problem could be somehow related. The smoke machine is interfering even though its only connected by the mains wires in the house so it seems things can have an effect on the PIC even when in theory they shouldnt
