Close. It is a .com site not .co.uk

All the software on the PIC does is divide the flashes detected by ten and
send a pulse out. This could be very easily modified to do something more
useful.

One little project I keep meaning to get off the ground is an
electricity meter monitor. I have a modern LCD meter, which has a
flashing LED to indicate consumption ( 1000 flashes per KWh). With a
simple phototransistor and a pic, this could be made available to a pc
for logging. It would provide useful info of static base load, but also
help identify large energy usage within the home and allow optimization
of X10 stuff.
