Electric Fence Energiser using PIC12F1840, PICkit2 programmer, GCBasic compiler.

I wanted to keep animals out of my garden so I built this electric fence energiser.

Decided to add a few other spark pulse modes for a bit of fun which demonstrates the flexibility of using a microcontroller.

Modes available: Slow speed pulse, medium speed pulse, fast speed pulse, ET has landed and classic Jacobs Ladder.

Runs off 6 volts and can run off 12 volts giving fatter sparks.
