12:13 AM rue_house: k, what they up to
12:13 AM rue_house: wtf
12:13 AM rue_house: dude, they are trying to get power from the parallel port, thats what the diodes are for
12:13 AM rue_house: they want 5V
12:13 AM __m00n__: ok coool
12:13 AM rue_house: in true __m00n__ style, scab a usb connector on and use that for the power
12:13 AM __m00n__: :(
12:14 AM __m00n__: so are they driving all the bits high on 5 through 9 for the 5 volt power?
12:14 AM rue_house: 1 min till bedtime
12:14 AM rue_house: yea
12:14 AM rue_house: the MIGHT use it as a power-cycle reset, but its unlikley
12:14 AM __m00n__: 5 bits for 5X current?
12:15 AM rue_house: bits 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 are D0-7 on the port
12:15 AM rue_house: each bit is only good for a few mA
12:15 AM __m00n__: why do they need diodes?
12:16 AM rue_house: thats a good question
