    I was thinking of using a PWM signal for the LED. 12F683 could be handy here.

    Start the HPWM of x KHz, and use the internal timer to count in background. With a decent prescaler, it should reject most part of the ambient light.

    Just an idea... in theory it works.

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.

    Thanks for the details Sougata. I am definitely taking all info into consideration.

    And For 12F683, I will check the price and see if it is any advantage over using 12F675.

    I am currently working on this thing.

    More codespace
    1 Hardware PWM
    internal OSC up to 8 MHZ

    If i refer to digikey, the price difference for a single 8pin DIP is in the worst case 0.36$ mmm, i know, sometime it's enough.

    Sometimes I think that I can even sell parts to Digikey.

    If you know what I mean.
