Switch question

I have an incandescent (halogen, I think) bike lamp that uses some electronics to give pushbutton control and two brightness levels via PWM. I'm pretty sure it's not a micro though, that would just be silly for such a simple task (and it's got quite a few cheap parts in it).

Best regards, Spehro Pefhany

With the baby PIC's, there is virtually never a time when a CPU cannot give the more cost effective solution.

It certainly is FUNDAMENTALLY INSANE to use a 555 timer ever again.

Not true. A perfect example is when someone who has no desire nor need to learn how to write the code for and program a µC asks, "How can I..." The obvious answer is "Use a 555."

Why not just substitute the switch for one with the desired push-push toggle action?

I didn't say Nixon was President, only "in office"; one heartbeat away. ;-)
