Need some help
« on: July 10, 2011, 12:22:07 AM »
hey guys Im starting a new project and I wanted to see if anyone could either modify t0p8uzz led flasher to a single mode to turn the leds on/off with the sync button, or compile a code to do exactly that? Much help would be appreciated.

What exactly are you wanting to do? Have the sync button as a on/off button for LEDs? How many LEDs, and how will they be wired? If this is simple enough I might be able to make you a quick hex.

Hi yes I want the sync button to be the switch that controls the leds on/off. I am wanting to wire about 7 leds. Help is much appreciated.

Unfortunately 7 LEDs are going to draw more power than a microchip can handle directly, so you will have to switch them with a transistor or something (unless you seriously limit the current to each one, but then they won't be very bright). I can write the code if someone else here can draw up a schematic for switching the LEDs on and off, and just use the pic to switch the transistor.

You can hook many of these to 1 PIC and you can add however many LEDs that you want.

Thanks for posting a schematic FOOKz.  So the PIC will need to output high to turn the LEDs on correct? And if the pic isn't outputting high the pull down resistor will keep the line low?

Yes.

Also PNP transistors can be use to invert the effect.

xSLICKVICx,

Sorry I haven't had a chance to reply yet, I have been frantically trying to complete my entry for the Standout competition.  I will write this code for you the first chance I get, but it might be the beginning of next week before I have time.
