              └── Momentary Switch ─┳─────── P0

             3.3v                     
              

    This weekend I completed the following:
    #1 Created a Power supply for my dev "system" from a old ATX working power supply. All the outputs are off. The 3.3V is 2.89, the 5V is a 5.89, the -5 is at 5.21, the 12 is at 10.89 and the -12 is at 7.86. I think it's because I used a 10 ohm, 10watt power resistor. I'm going to have to research this, unless someone has the answer. The power supply has a 5V SB output, which I have no idea what it is used for.

    #2 Wired up my "primary" breadboard for the propeller. (I'm still doing the voltage checks, but I'm almost ready to power on with the propeller & eeprom!

    KK,

    ·· 5V SB is Standby Power for keeping keyboards, mice or other peripherals powered to use as a wake-up device.·· That lead should always have 5V when the supply is plugged in.· You can't very well wake from keyboard, for example, if you don't have the device powered.· But it seems we're getting off topic in this thread...
