dave_l is an unknown quantity at this point
I'm already using all 8 of the PBASIC accessable LEDs on the OI. I want PBASIC access to the other three OI LEDS. Since they are hardwired to DI 1/2/3, I seek a way to switch those three DIs under program control. Hence my thought of wiring unused Relay Outputs to those three Digital Inputs. Thus, setting a relay out (under program control) switches the DI, resulting in control of the LED on the OI.

re: "some series resistance in the base circuit" - suggestions? couple hundred ohms?

re: "See the IFI site for a .pdf file of the equivalent input circuit" - which file? I've pulled and reviewed most of them, and can't think what you might be referring to...

re: "kind of output you have with the Banner sensors" - I'll check those docs out

Thanks again!
