Thanks. I appreciate the advice.
I've been wading through some of his stuff. I am getting the idea it take a rather large investment in time, effort and hardware to get started with PICs.
Since this is a one-time, single purpose project, the up-front investment is not likely to be recouped...
I've never written code for a PIC. Until now I never thought about it.
I'm comfortable with following a schematic to solder components on a breadboard. I just don't have a frame of reference for designing and executing a PIC-based solution.
How likely is it a newbie could figure out how to...
Thanks, I guess...
I'm real new to electronics, but that sounds a bit complicated. Like a sledge hammer for a thumb tack.
I was thinking a lot simpler - a few resistors, capacitors and a timer. It basically cycles a switch once a day at daylight.
Am I thinking too small?
:confused:
There are some things I need to automate on a daily basis - first thing in the morning but only if there's adequate daylight.
I'm new to electronics - currently studying at Google University :confused:
I'm sure I can use an LDR to detect daylight and close the circuit. I plan to include a...
