    Default one step forward

    hello dave and steve

    thanks for your replys. i need a bit of time to answer because i must test all seriously.

    i'm no a step further. the problem seems not to be in PSU... i made a mistake in the software which have updated the outputs too fast and this problem sourced. normally the output at the 7805 is stable at 4.9 V

    now a new thing is coming up. all is working but i'm not sure why this can be :
    the circuit needs 16 mA @ 5 V. when i turn on a reed relais it needs 20 mA more, so 36 mA. the next relais add also 20 mA, all is fine.
    now, when i turn on the third relais and the current increase to 76 mA, the 5 V looks at in the attachment...?

    the relays are connected at portb, which have beside the relays only two led's (r=330ohm). the datatsheet says a maximum output current sunk by a pin is 25 mA, maximum current sunk of porta and b is 200 mA. but the whole circuit only needs about 90 mA when all is turning on.
    the trafo output is 6V 1.0 VA.

    as i say it. the circuit works, but i ask myself what is that?

    thanks for any comments again
