Abnormal low current from JK flip flop IC at toggle mode

[thankz]

just a suggestion, but why can't you poll the switch with the ardrino and use a small wait state loop to control debounce?

Doh! Because the whole point is to power on/off the arduino with a push button switch.

Hello,

Here is how I finally did it! It works fine. Thanks a lot for your help. I learned a lot about a world that I didn't know about, electronics!

Thank you!

Glad it works. That was a good idea, using the JK SET/RESET like an RS latch for debounce. I'll probably end up using that at some point.

Great, thanks again for your help.
