Scratches head yet more...

I can see what TIMMERS means but I'm still scratching my head at IOANNIS's surgestion... i not sure what ya mean...

acording to my calculation, a resistance of 5 ohms will give me a voltage drop of 1 volt @ 200mA. a 1volt loss is acceptable since i was going to add a diode in to re-use the forward EMF, so i was looking at a voltage drop of 0.3V anyways... so now, i'll just pump up the input voltage by 1.5V to compensate...

so, i've added 6 resisters in series to make 5 ohms to give a high wattage...
I've make two voltage deviders [4:1] ether side of the resisters using 100k resisters... so now i hoinh to solder it up write the subroutine and see how many diferent ways it can tell me to get stuffed... lol
