Hi all,
I'm looking for some help with a simple circuit i'm trying to build.
I'm trying to control the below DC motor using a PIC (16F870). I am not interested in controlling speed, just simply turning it on and off. I have set the circuit below up and it works except for the fact that when the motor turns on the LEDs start to flicker. Eventually I intend to swap other things in for the LEDs but want to get the circtui right first.
I'm guessing the motor is causing interference somewhere but i'm not sure how to stop this. Can anybody make a suggestion?
Thanks in advance for your help![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
