Competition Port

Pin 1 on the competition port is hooked directly to +5 on the OI.
However doing so will void your warranty. Pin 8 is ground.

Ok, thank you. I have the disable switch working, and i am going to probably hook up the LEDs later.

Thanks,
Larry

I still would suggest you make an led circuit run off of a 9 volt battery. If you do run the leds off of pins on the oi's comp port and any damage done in the future or and work you would like done to that oi, including upgrading firmware can be rejected by ifi even if your paying for it due to you fooling with the pins. Your choice should be thought about before you play with "fire" by running leds off of the comp port.
