Please take a photo of the traces so I can determine which circuit they use. If they are the same as 'normal', then they use the phototransistor as a pull-down. It's wired across a 10k and an led + resistor connected to +5. Connect them out in parallel separate from the BBB. If the LED's still

Depends on your circuit and you switches. If they just short through to ground it should be pretty safe. However, if you switches either have GND or VCC on the output you might risk a short circuit. Which kind of switches do you use? Sag ich Dir nich writes: > Hello, > > i want to know what co

Hello, i want to know what could possibly happen if i wire all switches to one input (what could happen if all 5 were signaling?). Atm i have two wired to one input and it is working but i dont want to risk damaging something when wiring all switches to one input. -- website: http://www.mach
