Still having trouble with this.
I had the circuit like the first pic below. It was according to the Data Sheet. I tried changing the C4 to 10uF and didn't help. It gave the delay, but, upon plug in, the LED's still flashed for a fraction of a second, then it did the delay start for the voltage regulator, and then all the circuit turned on correctly.
Now, I tried the circuit this way (second pic) and this way it still does the same thing, but without the delay start. Although, I think I will go with this idea, because it allows the whole circuit to be turned off via a standard SPST switch.
Now, I've included the debounce circuit I have. The output of the inverter goes to every logic gate that is supplying power to the red and green LED's I have. The green LED's are always on (unless one of the hall sensors triggers it, switching it to a red LED) and when the tactile switch in the debounce circuit is pressed, all the LED's light, this is a feature I added so that you can see if all the LED's are turning on as they should, or if one has burned out, etc.
So, I am wandering if maybe changing a value in the debounce circuit will solve the voltage spike that happens on plugging in of the wallwart to the circuit board, or flipping the rocker switch for pin 5 of the voltage regulator?
