I've just gone through Nigel's LED Section of his tutorial, so I really should be finishing the tutorial before I ask questions...
The question I have is:
This PIC, as far as I remember, cant work with 12V, and what I want it to do is go through all the possible combinations of my gate remote. My remote uses 12V, and hav 12 switches. The programming is my problem, and is a nice way of applying what I've learnt, but being a newbie to electronics (rewarding stuff this), I need to ask what transistors etc. you would recommend me using to accomplish my job. Simply, the pins on my little IC will give out 5v when I want the switch on, and 0V when I want it off.
Simply, what transistor should I use?
Note: please dont recommend a binary counter, 'cause I seriously cant get my hands on one here, I actually have to order it from another city a few hours away. (You only have a right to correct me here if you live where I do).
This situation is quite different eh? ...
