Re: Very unusual desoldering method...

I tried it and it does work. Here is a few suggestion. Use sunglasses, a heat shield on the back end of the bulb, make or purchase a ceramic lamp holder for the bulb and use welding gloves.
I used 120v halogen lamp. (It is not my preferred method to do it this way) :yuck:

Re: Moisture detector

Chris <p>Maybe I am going about this the wrong way this how I have the circuit wired. Pin 1 to Ground Pin 2 to 6 with a 0.1 uf cap. going to ground Pin 6 to a 150k res. to pin 3 Pin 6 to a 390 ohm res. to a 0.22 uf cap.to probe Pin 8 to 4 to +5v dc Pin 7 to a PIC16f84 :confused:
