Electric Chair revised

Hi Jon,

Here is the electric chair program you wrote for me in 2007, and it works great. However I should have mentioned that the flashing light is a real flashing light. The output only has to be a "on" signal to a relay.

' Electric Chair:
' PIR sensor trips, flashing light on 5 sec., after 2 second delay
' body in electric chair moves back and forth very rapidly via
' pneumatics, I have double acting cylinders connect between the
' shoulder's and arms operated by a 5-way valve. I only need to signal
' the SPDT relay on and off in 1 second intervals. ( I would like to
' be able to change the rate of the intervals during the total cycle)
' after initial 5 sec. everything shuts off. wait 30 sec. to repeat cycle.

Not sure I understand you.  This update turns on the light relay (for the entire 5s cycle) while pulsing the body output after the 2s point through the end.

BTW, Dan Roebuck is a friend of mine.
