Well the last of my parts arrived today,so I finished my breadboard prototype.Something seems to be wrong here though.Im a little too tired tonight to check my work again and comprehend what im doing but the power output to the pulser stays on constantly,as a matter of fact the power turns on as soon as I connect the batt. without even pushing the button.I will go over my wiring in the morning but if you have any ideas I would appreciate some input.Thanks!

Just to add another option to switching off power:

This is a thread on the Parallax Basic Stamp Forum. There are some other ideas.

IT WORKS! IT WORKS! I should know better than to tinker with things late at night! I made a few corrections to a few connections and ran it 2x now with only my meter hooked up to it, and im gonna hook it up to the "zapper" for another 2x.I dont get a complete shutdown on output though, it drops to .8v but this shouldnt make a difference. I cant see the pulser doing anything at <1v.Other than that, everything works perfectly! I cant thank you enough for all your help.
