GRJ has the operation described above, just took me a LOT longer than it took him to figure out how to do it. I was trying to use the suggestions above, but I didn't quite grasp the proper circuit needed to follow the suggestions (you guys are all way ahead of me), so this could is be a variation of some of those above suggestions.
Stan, your are right about D4. On my bread board, with D3 only, by itself does allow the green LED to just barely flicker. I needed to add the extra diode to my circuit. When Rod tried it, he got no flicker (or light) from the green LED with only one diode (D3) and did not need D4. When testing the previous common cathode circuit, we both needed the second diode during testing. The common cathode version was the starting point for this common anode version.
I am guessing there is some difference in the LEDs we are using that is causing the two different results. I am using a 'bargain basement' (cheapest I could find with the most LEDs) LED assortment from ebay, short leads and all. Not sure what LEDs rod is using.
Rod, I'll try just one of the we_honest signals separately to see if they work on D3 only or need to have D4 added. Not sure I thought of trying that before? Anyway I haven't tried it?
