But with 3 pins (1 look as power and 1 as > gnd), do they code/multiplex the two detectors in 1 signal on 1 pin ? Very unlikely. One pin is either power or ground. One end of both photodectors are tied to this pin. The other two pins are the other ends of each photodetector. I seriously doubt you have both a power and ground rail in the three pins. ***************************************************************** Embed Inc, embedded system specialists in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, http://www.embedinc.com -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
