OK, it looks like, from my research, that I have to build an oscillating circuit with a schmitt trigger. If anybody here has ever heard of these things let me know. Otherwise, I will have to go spend time on an electronics message board. I really don't want to go somewhere else and be the newbie that gets told to do a search. I will if I have to, but I'd rather not. Any takers?
