The data is active low, so it normally sits at 5V, then only toggles low when sending a bit. The power stays at 5V always, and I assume that is the one the pocket pedal uses for power so you want to keep that one. >However, my pin breaking experiment didn't work, I broke ALL BUT the >pins you designated as DAT , GRN >(wouldn't power the Ppedal) > >so I'll try your pin config and break just the DAT, will repost results. >If you would, can you check the site I listed and see if it's labels are >correct/incorrect? it is right if they are talking about the backside of the male DIN connector, where the cable is soldered on to it. It is backwards if they are talking about looking into the pin side of the connector. They aren't clear which orientation they are describing. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
