I am using a Atmega16 running at 7.37Mhz. I am also using a LCDPlus. I talk to it with the Rs232 Hardware UART. It has a ULN2803A with 8 relay Darlington Drivers. This also includes blocking diodes. I am using 5v Relays with contacts rated at 250v 10a. The setup uses a momentary button to interrupt on Int0. The relays energise Mains contactors 120v 1a and ring a bell 120v .6a. The system works fine with no load on the relay contacts. When I connect the contactor and bell I get false interrupts. I can software out the problem by disable/enable Int0 before and after the relay call. But I would like to fix it. What I have done: Use 1 supply for relays and 1 for the AVR. Adding a power line filter before the power supplies. I used a car battery and a dc to ac inverter to Isolate the unit from the contactor power. So far no real fix. Any Ideas?? JoeT
