    thank you so much!!! i have been over this board so many times, with the datasheet in one hand, and the schematic in the other..

    i new it had to be something stupid like that, i just couldnt find it..

    i definately feel like a retard now!!! 2 different boards (designed from the beginning both times) and a weeks worth of going over and measuring..

    thanks again!!!

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    it is actually my first time doing that... but im sure it wont be the last..

    at least i enjoy making the boards, i think its part of the fun. i also only soldered on the basics, so its not much of a loss of money...

    i cant believe i didnt notice it.. i started from scratch on the second board, and i still didnt get it right...

    thanks again!!

    Good..you found the problem!
    You would think it wouldn't be that hard to cut some traces and run a few jumpers to fix the board. It's not optimal, but it should work.

    it may not be too hard to cut some traces and run a couple jumpers.. i like having everything nice and clean.. and like i said, i enjoy making the boards... later on, i will try to post a pic of my 16f88 controlled lightning trigger for my camera. seems to work using a camera flash, hopefully it will work with lightning....

    i used a photocell (resistor) connected to an ADC pic on the PIC, and it takes 2 samples, and compares them. if the second one has a greater value, then it triggers the camera. if i use a flash (disposable camera parts) it will take a picture and capture the flash, so it should be fast enough for lightning...

    I'd bet the photocell won't respond fast enough. A camera flash is usually quite a bit slower than lightning.
