Re: TI-H: TI Backlighting
Replying to my own message... I meant a multivibrator, not an
oscillator. I've drawn up a schematic in bmp form. I had to make some
modifications, and use transistors to control access to the ground. If
you want to see the schematic, just e-mail me. I only have the layout,
not the actual values of the parts. I just know that a few have to be
bigger/smaller than others in the circuit.
