    Thanks for the efford Keith.

    After a bit of sleep and with a cleared head I made up this:

    Updated:


    Swapped PNP and NPN transistors around, replaced BC547 by BD139.

    It aint finished yet i guess.

    I checked the specs for the RGB leds and green and blue chips are rated 3.5 to 3.8 volts, red chip is GaAlAs rated at 1.85 to 2.2 volts. The 3.3 volts from the voltage regulator is to high for the red chip and to low for the blue and green. Will prolly go to 5V supply and put resistors in series with each chip.

    Anyways, thanks again for the help so far,
    Steve

    UPDATE:
    This is the third version, added resistors in series with each led chip, this should be almost complete i think. Now only add the PIC16F777 and power supply.
