Thanks ronv, I wanted to charge the cap fast and add discharge resistance so if it took someone too long they would have to start all over again. Maybe 2.0 seconds each, not doing the math maybe a 5K ??? [ R X C = T ] Because the charge current will only be momentary, about .5s from each push button. The output low would be fine. Besides when the output goes off the page I have it going to a PCB relay which will latch by a holding contact and the other two leads ya see coming back are from another set of shunting contacts on the relay which isnt shown, so they will be discharged all the way and the system relay will take over. Not to shabby for an electrician huh ? Lol, Im proud of myself because I thought I was gonna have to go with a key switch to arm and disarm the system. Its either gonna be a lock or an alarm system.
