Author Topic: CP65 Remote format status LED’s Greg Rooke Film Handler Posts: 2 From: Braddon ACT Australia Registered: Dec 2009 posted 12-31-2009 05:36 PM                     Want to run remote format status LED’s (Mono, Non sync, SR etc) from a CP65. The Processor is located in a different room. Can anybody tell me if I can use ID0 through to ID7 off J18 25 pin D connector to drive LED’s.  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 01-31-2012 07:00 AM                 It has been 760 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Bernie Anderson Jr Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: Woodbridge, New Jersey Registered: Apr 2000 posted 01-31-2012 07:00 AM                        I would be curious about how to do this too. The only thing that is different on my system is I have a DA 20 hooked up at that connector  |  IP: Logged Robert Minichino Master Film Handler Posts: 350 From: Haskell, NJ, USA Registered: Dec 2005 posted 01-31-2012 10:09 AM                        Without the DA20 connected, you can use the ID0-7 pins to directly drive 10mA LEDs (anode connected to IDx pin, cathode connected to ground), but since the DA20 uses ID0 connected to the "Sense0" line, I'm not sure what the effect of connecting an LED to that line will be. It can't physically hurt, but it might affect the automatic format switching. The output of those pins is 15V in series with a 1.5k resistor when enabled, and floating when disabled.  |  IP: Logged
