Tests
IMPORTANT: Your LED on voltage measurements might be considerably higher than the 2.65 V measurements shown below. Basically, if you get anything in the 2.5 to 3.3 V range, assume it’s good.
- Go to cyberscope.parallax.com and click Connect.
- When the light turns on, check the CYBERscope voltmeter to see what voltage it applies to the circuit. There may be a delay of a second or so between when the light turns on and when the measurement updates.
- Repeat the voltage measurement for the LED off state.
