As a ballpark figure I would calculate the resistor value to pass about 10 times the reverse leakage current found in the datasheet.
Regarding an RF push pull configuration: I would consult the Radio Amateurs Handbook.

Hello Josh and welcome to EP.
Please clarify this statement. db25 is a model topography that describes the physical design of a "D" type connector. If you're asking if you could control the steppers via a computer in lieu of a PIC then you'd be asking if serial port control would work. This...
If you series stack 1N4007's you should shunt each diode with an identical and appropriate resistance value. This technique is also used with series stacked electros.

EDIT: Congratulations KK6FVT!
I passed a disabled car on the shoulder of the road today. There was a young girl on her knees changing a flat while her boy friend, husband (?), whatever, stood there with his hands in his pockets!

I see that the seller's location is Hong Kong. Pigeon English responses are not unusual. ;)
Make sure you use Heat Sink Compound between the base of the LED and the heat sink. Failing to properly do so will render the heat sink less than fully effective.

Simplifies things! :eek:
It sounds like you're using this like a wireless PA system. Is that what this is?
Large commercial buildings usually have an extensive telephone system with gobs of unused pairs. Have you explored this? I did this in a very large hospital.

Odd, I found this..
http://download.p4c.philips.com/files/h/hf3485_60/hf3485_60_dfu_cfr.pdf
but there's no mention of 240V/50Hz. The .pdf only mentions 120V/60Hz.

A decent 120VAC to 240VAC (yes it's not 230V) transformer might cost you more than the clock! I would also not rely on 12VDC to 120VAC converters to produce a clean or accurate 60Hz.

We already know that the 15W you're transmitting is well above the legal limit in the UK or just about anywhere else for that matter. Aiding you to further exceed power limits would put Electronics Point in legal deep water.
