I've been an electronics tech for over 25 years and I know your pain. My
suggestion is to get a schematic (library is a good place if you don't have
one) They look confusing at first glance, but if you look at it long enough
it will start to make sense. It is vitally important that you get the
schematic for your particular application because their are differences and
if you hook the wrong things together you can create problems you wont like.
If your unsure how to proceed, I would defenitely get some help from someone
qualified. This is one area that trying things blindly will definitely
ambush you.
