#100848 - NPN?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Lambros Sirivlis said:
If you want more current you have to use a NPN transistor

That would be one way; but a PNP transistor would be better, given the 8051's open-drain ports - see:
http://www.8052.com/forum/read.phtml?id=93726

and, of course, there are many other options with FETs, other ICs, etc, etc,...

See: http://www.8052.com/forum/read.phtml?id=99947

Note that some 8051-drivates can sink quite high currents - even up to 20mA? But you must check this very carefully in the Datasheet - and there may also be limits for the total current on a single port and/or the total current for the whole device.
Always Read the Datasheet!

            I guess you are referring to the hex            01/01/70 00:00      
   Have you tried BLINK?            01/01/70 00:00
