BTW, why do I need to disable CCP module? It would prevent the output to work fine?

Yes, as long as the CCP module is ON, it has control of the CCP1 pin.

And what's technically wrong with using a transistor???

Nothing really. Just extra parts that don't add any functionality.

But after thinking a little more about it ...
With people that are running and jumping with nylon backpacks while wearing rubber soled shoes ... If the first contact between 2 of them is going to be the connection to deliver a health pack? I think extra ESD protection on those pins would be the biggest concern.

jeeze... i didn't think about that.
the pics don't have some esd protection like the eeproms (24lc08 seem to have that)?
How can i prevent an esd? using a capacitor?
