I have done it by this way. I will use CO, C1, C2 and C3 for PWM 1 to 4. The mosfets are also connected to these PIN's. This works great now with one mosfet on C0.

Re: LDR (Light Dependent Resistor -> FC V8
Many thanks for all the help! I appreciate this very much.
There is one more thing I would like to see in the flowchart. I can't think of this.
It would be nice if the LDR could be read once per minute and the average value calculated within a period of, say, five minutes. This value then goes to the variable ADCValue.
This is to prevent problems if, for example, five cars pass by when it is dark.
Of course, the LDR can be read once every five minutes, but an average of this is better.
I hope you understand what I mean.

Re: LDR (Light Dependent Resistor -> FC V8
Hi
A few ways to do it. One way would be to set an interrupt to create a "seconds" counter.
I you set up an Interrupt on Timer0 (any, but not timer 2 as that is being used) and have this quite slow, say for example 60.xxHz, this would interrupt approximately sixty times per second and jump to a predefined Macro. If interrupt frequency was 75Hz then you would interrupt 75 times a second and so on.
This Macro increments a counter variable (e.g. x=x+1)
When x=>60 (or whatever interrupt frequency is) then increment another variable (e.g. seconds) seconds=seconds+1 and then set x back to zero
Now you have the variable "seconds" incrementing every second (or thereabouts).
When seconds = 60/120/180/240/300 you take an ADC reading and add it to a variable say ADCavg. After you have added your fifth reading (when seconds = 300) divide ADCavg by five to give you the average, and set seconds back to zero. Don't forget to set ADCavg back to zero too once you use it.
I'm sure you get the idea.
Do note that the chip you are using can probably interrupt at 0.015Hz (approximately once a minute) or lower (longer). Have a play in the Interrupt properties. You don't really need exact intervals so experiment to suit
Regards
