MCLR resistor

[DynamoBen]

I have noticed that the strobe double clicks once every few seconds while connected to the box but i dont think that would cause a problem. I was just concerned that i might break the box.

Try tying an incandescent lamp inline, this may correct this. If it does a 10 ohm 10 Watt resistor should fix it permanently.

Hmm. I think it would be dangerous for me to put a resistor into a mains socket. As it happens it randomly started working normaly.

The main circuit had some problems tonight but i think at least half of them were with my software. Writing applications like that in such a short space of time usually means there will be some errors.

Ive learned quite a few lessons over the past few days though thanks to people on these forums and a bit of experimenting. Hopefully next year i will have a proper PCB made up. I have a few questions about new ideas ive had so ill start new threads for those soon.

Some pics will be going up in the next few days. Just gotta tidy up a bit and locate all the pics

Finally. Heres some pics from halloween. Still waiting for the ones on the film camera but theres one of the circuit on here
