Hello Mictester, You still out there? I very much appreciate your nifty little low powered Relay switching. Just a little unsure on the instructions you gave on the power on reset circuit to avoid out of sync on power up, which I have sometimes had a problem with, not always, but occasionally it glitches into the switch system in some builds. Please if you wouldn't mind could you do us a diagram description schematic of the "power-on reset pulse" as you previously described, This might sought my dilemmas out. Hope you can oblige.mictester wrote: ↑20 Nov 2014, 19:17 Using a CMOS Schmitt inverter: Connect a 1µ from input to ground. Connect a 470k from input to + supply. Connect a 1N4148 diode from the input up to supply, with the anode at the input end. Apply power, and you'll see a ½s positive-going pulse at the output of the Inverter. This is your power-on reset pulse. Apply this to the "reset" inputs of any bistable's you're using, and you'll guarantee their state at power-on.
Thanks, Trevor
