Also, another detail is I am getting 3.04 volts on my incoming peak to peak with the FS8, and 3.6 volts with the Electron 6. Not sure if that would make a difference or not. Both work here, but your voltage is a little lower.

Okay, the 914's are in and there is no output pulses unless I touch the chip or input pin 5 with my finger. I am getting just about 3.0 volts input pulses and I guess that is the difference because just the slight capacitance of my finger, starts the output. It must be right on the edge.

Bummer. How about putting a transistor in there to boost the voltage to 5v on the the input pin?

All I can say is that great minds think alike. Working on a sig booster now.
Thanks for all your help.

Status:
I used a pair of 2222 xistors to invert the pulses twice so that they are the correct polarity.
The pulses are now 5v and I am still getting fixed pw on all 4 outputs. I must have some bad karma or I ran out of mojo.

They are very pretty now!Originally Posted by mgauthier711
Maybe it's the PIC12F282, instead of using a 12f683?
Just kidding.....I wish it was that...
Hmm.
Can you try just connecting one of the receivers output's. I don't really know why it would not be detecting any pulses, unless it thought they were for some reason out of range. Also, did you try the hex file I attached in an earlier post? I am just curious if there is a difference from either Darrels include file v1.00 or maybe my use of 2.60, or maybe mpasm. And the hex file should rule those out.
It might be interesting if the PIC's output pulses are all 2ms, or if they initially match the inputs, only do not change.
For my earlier testing I used debug out to trouble shoot the code. It was a little butchered by the interrupts, but I could still make out bytes using a fast baud rate. I suppose I could have turned off the interrupts while it was doing that. At least that way, we could see what it thought the inputs were.
Sorry to hear about your karma.

I'll try that stuff tonight. Right now I am headed to an RC electric flight festival. It's the first ever Texas Eelectric Flight Festival. Later.
