Hi all,
Am almost ashamed to post this, maybe of help to others so here it is;
I've a nice simple project on the go at the moment for which I'm going to use a 16f819 (just because I have a stack of them and they fit the bill!)
All I need to do is wire 6 switches to the pic to in turn switch 6 darlington transistors which in turn will work 6 soleniod valves.
I remember in a previous project I had long wire attached to led's this messed with my poor pic I think as I asked here and removed them and all was well.
My switches need to be at least 3m apart, (in pairs, phew!) but I can see the wires to the switches ending up around 4-5m at the longest! Will this give me problems? There is other wiring quite near (240v ac) I've got some shrouded cable but are there any other dodges I need to use?
Thanks in advance, Geoff
