Better check the Gate/Source (Vgs) turn on voltage of the 7002, it is not the best at 3V (It is 2.5V Max). It would be better to use something like the FDV305N that will turn on at 1.5V. Also your impedance between the motor and the coil cell are not well matched, unless you can put a big low leakage, low ESR cap across the voltage point going to your motor/switch combo. What will happen is you will turn on the motor, the voltage will sag from the coil cell to the point that your micro resets, that then turns off the motor, the low ESR cap will minimize this from happening. Jason, you don't happen to be in the Cleveland area? I'm having Déjà vu here with a very similar discussion I just had with someone from a similar sounding project, a couple of weeks ago. -- http://www.wearablesmartsensors.com/ http://www.softwaresafety.net/ http://www.designer-iii.com/ http://www.unusualresearch.com/ _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
