shed Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 I am building the powersuply for my sid using an old c64 power psu. On the diagram for doing this it says that you can connect the power led from the C64, i havent got one, any alternitves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdutcher Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 any led will work...there's nothing special about the c64 led. if you're using a display with a backlight, you don't even need an led, because the screen itself can act as your power indicator. if the screen is lit up, the unit is on.

shed Posted January 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 ok cos on tk's diagram http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_4xsid_c64_psu_optimized.pdfthe conection for the led has 3 pins why is this?i thought perhaps the c64 led had 3 parts for the 5v and the 9v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdutcher Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 i think he just did it that way because the C64 led has a 3-pin socket at the end, even though only 2 of the pins are actually connected to anything. you can see in the diagram that the third pin is connected to the first. i think this is done for orientation reasons; no matter how you connect the socket, the C64's power led is going to function properly. the led itself, however, only has two leads...it's just a normal led.let me know if this is unclear.
