Re: simple one-shot pulse detector circuit needed

Because that's who he paid to do the work? Who else was he going to hire in Arizona to work outside in the heat?

Yep. The white guy I fired for poor workmanship also didn't seem to want the work.

Don't fret over Lawrance... he can't even spell his own name correctly ;-) ...Jim Thompson

Then why was the post something along these lines??

I've hired two different people to do a task and it appears that neither even opened a gate necessary get to where the project is located.

I think that there is more here to explore.

However, at least this time you tried to answer a question; last query you let others do your bidding. It appears that you frequently want others to do your work no matter how simple or vapid.

A simple RF transceiver behind the gate at the right position. When the ga te is open, it should block the RF signals. Detect it with Receiver Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). As of the type of RF, 802.15.4 of course. Jus t hard code a 64 bit address. No BT pairing and WiFi DHCP headaches.

There was no claim that the gate was 'never' opened and you have no idea what the nature of the task(s) is(are), how long it(they) should take, or how often it(they) should be performed.

It's really none of your business but if you just have to have something to stick your nose into why don't you 'explore' why some companies use time clocks.

There is nothing requiring you to participate.
