"that's the way I'd do it." In a product? You're being a sore loser,
John. You know you'd never "engineer" that "design" into a product
;-)

...Jim Thompson


Good grief, I posted a cute little circuit with four parts, and
everybody is getting mad at me because they can't understand it.

John

I understood the "cute little circuit with four parts", saw the flaws,
and said so.

Why don't you elaborate on your "cute little circuit with four parts"
and make it bullet proof?

...Jim Thompson


So what would make you happier, a Pic driving an ssr?

John

Hardly, I'd replace the whole thing with a real push-on/push-off
switch, and forget all the exotic electronics ;-)

...Jim Thompson

I posted the circuit because it's interesting, at least to me. The
follow-on interesting thing is people's reaction to it, specifically
hostility, and inability to understand how it works.

I'm sure glad I posted it.
