Controlling switches with a PIC

[skimask]

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.

Would the 2n2222 work for my application? (i.e. just pulling a 5V wire to ground?) Which transistor would you recommend?

Thanks again,

Use the 2N2222. As long as you aren't pulling a zillion amps thru it, you'll be fine.
Just make sure you read and understand how to do so...
