Some have on-line chat that works while they don't answer their email, etc. etc. I think email as a medium to business has been seriously compromised by the avalanche of spam. I find all too often I have to either use instant chat (which I'm not very fond of) or call them on the phone...don't know issue with Zeftronics, but have found that with other companies.

Nuckolls, III" Subject: AeroElectric-List: re: Auto Aux Fuel Pump Circuit Idea Fred, During the review of design goals on your idea you mentioned the possibility of using a PIC micro-controller to accomplish the task. I mentioned a "do lots" board and enclosure that could be useful to your efforts. The schematic for the board is . . . http://aeroelectric.com/Pictures/Schematics/Do-Much_Board_Schematic.pdf If you want to massage it in a cad program . . . http://aeroelectric.com/Pictures/Schematics/Do-Much_Board.dwg Obviously, if you put ALL the parts on the board, there would be some conflicts of functionality. However, depending on what parts are put on, what are left off, values of parts and nature of software installed in the 8DIP PIC, you can "Do Lots" . . . Emacs! The board is being re-configured to accept surface mount power FETs as opposed to the 4DIP parts shown. The whole thing fits into this enclosure http://www.aeroelectric.com/Catalog/AEC/9011/A15_Package.jpg I think there's room under the board to let you jeep a TO247 power FET into the enclosure . . . depending on a refinement of design goals and preliminary design review, this combination of parts might save you a lot of time and offer a good finished product. Use as it suits your needs.
