Ah - I see. I just followed the instructions which seemed to show (including the YouTube video link Ralphy posted) you connect the three pins to 3.3v, GND and OUT to GPIO pins directly. The datasheet does have an application example circuit, but it doesn't show the OUT connected to anything other than a transistor which connects the other two pins back to Vs and GND, which is confusing to a noob like me ;) (you'd never think I scraped an AS level Electronics once upon a time! ;) ). It seems like the OUT never connects back to the receiving device (the Pi in this case) I've got a mate who is a whizz at electronics (he works on developing code for car radios and makes test/demo hardware circuits for fun), so I'll get him to show me what I'm missing and go from there. Many Thanks for the pointers! :) Cheers, Matt. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mutant_matt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37288 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106292 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
