Re: Control of Decorations (Led displays)

Adam,
It's R03. The 9403 data I/O module is directly connected to the digital side car I/O and the sum of all outputs cannot exceed 64 ma. Using the digital outputs for LEDs is not a good idea. I believe that a high current LED driver would be legal as a custom circuit provided it does not violate any other rule, specifically electrical rules. Spikes are still the best alternative as far as ease of use, interface and wiring.
