| Aug 30, 2015 at 16:49 | comment | added | Laszlo Valko | Sorry, but I wouldn't use this circuit. The reason: when the PIC is not driving its output (for example, when it's being reset), this circuit will switch on the motor, which, IMHO, is not a safe design. To save a single trasistor and a resistor... | |
