hi
I have a float switch which is an open circuit when the fluid level is low, and therefore when the fluid is full the circuit is closed.
One wire on the float is connected directly to 5 volt, while the other wire connects to an input of a picaxe.
There is also a 10K resistor to pull low to prevent the input from floating
When the fluid boils the float switch rapidly bounces causeing it to go high and low.
Will this damage the picaxe in anyway?
also I am using some microswitches that are held open when something pushes them. What I have noticed is that because the switch is activated the program cycles continuously until it is clear of the switch.
Can someone give me a snippet of code that will something to happen once and then maybe reset after a duration of time
regards
michael
