someone has beat you to it

a sidebar on the forum would be nice though. options could include: rotten eggs, tomatoes, a board with a nail in it...

So, if it's not healthy to run the PIC without the BOR, I'll have to design a good snubber. shouldn't be too hard. I'll also add the clamping doides, even though they are included in the ULN2004.

And if that's not it, i'll be back to talk you again.

Best,
Joel
