Single PIC to Blink 5 LEDs Independently?

[Ioannis]

I am not sure that I understood what you want to do. But looking on your schematic, I really do not think that is a good idea to have a pot drive the collector of the 2N2222 and then the transistor drive a load of 200mA. It is not good practice.

If you need to control the power to your load, then a PWM controlling the base of the transistor is sure more appropriate.

I got the design from another source. The idea was to provide a way to control the brightness of the LEDs without having to have the trim pot inside the model (the PCB will be in a base for easy access).

The trim pots work great for all the other instances, just not the 5 steady-on LEDs. Also, I cannot use PWM in this code at all - it completely throws off the blinking algorithm created by Darrel.
