Sure thing Bruce!

I'll fire up my old PIR to logic hack, check it out and post the schematics
etc. I used the detector by itself with additional parts but if you don't
mind using the whole assembly then some cuts and a jumpers can be used to
bring out a "dry" contact for control or indication.

13517 Sun, 16 Apr 2000 20:03:59 EDT what if beam@sgiblab.sgi.com SkavenArmy@cs.com if i took one trace on a pcb , an sent it to a lot of diferent cas , then had
them all converge on the same track again , would it fire like a led flash
sussession , or just one big POP??

like this
/+\
/ / / \ \ \
o o o o o o
\ \ \ / / /
\- /
then have it like normal///

would one fire , then the next , then the next , or would it be one pop?

jay z
btw: are there any ways possible to make an led flasher off a 2n3906 , a
resistor , and a led?
btw2: anyone know of any EASY battercharger schematics?
