That's kinda funny (but probably not to you). I thought of that, but then I thought - naaahhh. They are both labeled U2. I guess I should go with my gut next time. I'm happy you finally got it working.birdleg said:I would just like to say thanks everyone for theyre help.
The problems I was having with Rons circuit were down to the fact that I am a goose. i have been an electrician now for 25yrs and when I look at a schematic always assume (the mother of all) when there are two components in a drawing, if they are part of the same assembly they are surrounded by dotted lines. So instead of using one CD4013 I used two and connected them up as U2A and U2B. Hence the second IC was missing supply voltage and much else besides.
Once this was rectified circuit worked like a dream so thanks again.
There is no such thing as a stupid question
