Your idea won't work with bi-polar transistors.  They turn on at 0.7
volts on the base.


I put 5 V on the base and 0 V on the emitter for the NPN.
I put 0 V on the base and 5 V on the emitter for the PNP.


 There is no voltage you can use that will turn
them both off.


I set the microcontroller pin as an input, this will turn them both
off. (I've already tested it and it works) :-D
