Thanks for the input on this problem. I am used to working in analog type circuits, where what you see with the dvom is what you got, now this is digital, and not so strait forward. The thing that was messing me up was thinking that the 6v pwm signal was just that, 6v. Ofcourse its not, its 12v/0v, so of course it did not work! Now that I got my brain around that, I just might be dangerious!
One other question that I have is, at what point does the gate change state? That is what voltage is low and hi, is it 0v and 12v or some other value? Triing to calculate the values for the timing circuit and need to know at what voltage the gate will switch. Also should I use a electolitic cap for the timing or will a ceranic? one work.
Thanks again,
Earl
