...Where did Winterz post in here?
I think you've gone blind.
Also, ALL rapidfires except the no chip uses a PIC.
That in no way helped us.
Sorry dude that’s not correct. The 555 timer is not a PIC. Mikes chips are PIC
By definition, a PIC is= A PROGRAMABLE interrupt controller.
The 555 is a logic timer, there is no way to program the 555 chip, NONE. The 555 reacts differently to the different components attached to it.
Therefore this was a valid question, however I expected him to tell us which pic he was using, and this, as you previously stated, will still not be enough info to properly diagnose the problem.
please give more info or post some pictures of your wiring
