I'm hoping there might be someone who is using a similar setup who can provide a link or tell me what I need to use.

I don't even need to send data here, just transmit the state of a few pins. Hints would be great too if you just don't want feel like giving away too much info.

Thanks

I am sure it is a regulated 5 volt supply, cleverly disguised as a six volt battery . . . isn't it ?

Erm, well, I was in a hurry to set it up again for a pic, that L8705 is around here somewhere....
That's OK Justin, just a friendly poke . . . Using that as a power source, how do you get any consistancy not knowing if the voltage is over the PICs max or under the BOD min? Kinda like workin' out in the fringe, so when a problem occurs you look and ask yourself is it my code or my hardware or both? There is a trick, to making tasks easy, and it is simply, Do not make things difficult for yourself, plenty of others out there willing to do it for you.
