Re: OI LEDs on the 5v Aux

Meh...

I'm using my 5V+ to power LEDs in 4 of my switches. I notice no 'lag' or unusability in any of my devices. I'm also currently using a couple of relays to control higher voltage devices (until I'm told otherwise that I can't).

I made a schematic in Capture, if anyone is interested, I can get a copy tomorrow and post it.

So my vote is that you can power a few LEDs, but not enough for decoration.

Jacob,

You have posted on a number of threads about this.

If the relays are touching the OI port and also are touching another voltage source, it is illegal and the inspectors will make you disconnect them before you are allowed to pass inspection.

Regards,

Mike
