That sounds simplest. I don't know what current requirements the PWM to the compressor needs, you may need to put a transistor amplifier on the output of the PWM generator. The beauty of the 555 is that it's dirt-simple, cheap, easy to use, and runs directly off 12V. No regulator, no programming, no problem. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
