I have one of the output pins of a 16F84A hooked up to a transistor
which in turn drives a relay. Though the software can drive that pin
low, my concern is that during power up there might be enough current
to switch the transistor.
Since this is a kit-type project I can not do major modifications, so
is there a simple way to bypass the base for a brief period of time
and only when the signal is high for a longer time will it actually
switch the transistor ?
Hang a capacitor on the connection between the transistor base and it's base
resistor and the 0V. (something like 1uF).
