Led Interface
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
Hello,
I want to interface a basic stamp to an LED on a piece of equipment and use
this as an input. I am just wondering what sort of component I should use.
Maybe an optoisolator or a transistor? What do you think? I know this is
probably an elementary question, but that is pretty much the level I am at.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian Symons

Use a 1n24 opto isolator/NPN and this will work fine You can look at:
THE MICROCONTROLLER APPLICATION COOKBOOK"
BY Matt Gilliland. sold by parallax on p105 it shows exactly what you need.
If you want I will offer to copy the page and fax to you or scan and e-mail
as a friendly gesture

Yes, I would much appreciate it if you could e-mail me that page. Have been
planning on ordering that cookbook, but just have'nt gotten around to it
yet. You can e-mail me off list at 480v@h...
