Apology to Leroy...

This is an apology to Leroy. I have been running on limited sleep
recently, and mistakenly referred to a suggestion that someone else gave as
coming from Leroy.


Just to clarify where it originally came from...near the end of that thread
(after Dale quoted a hunk of the manual's explanation of the function of
POT/RCTIME) he ended with:


I am not sure if the POT instruction is what you are looking for to solve
your problem, but try this first add the
LED between the resistor and the capacitor and see if this solves your
problem.

Have Fun !!
Dale Fleischmann


I don't think he realized the RC network was not intended to DIRECTLY
influence the flashing of the LED (that's where the "no electronic sense"
comment came from), but rather provide a "factor" so that the code could
handle the flash rate.

I'm going to shut up now and maybe catch 2 3/4 winks. Or maybe it was just
my evil and slightly stupid twin that stepped in....yeah....that's the
ticket...

    Tom,

    Thanks for your kind words. I know that sometimes my fingers say things
    that my reason doesn't agree with. I try to deal with this and motor
    on.

    thanks again,


    Leroy
