what i did was connect the LED cathode to the port and anode to +5V thru a 330 ohm resistance.the reason for doing so, is that 8051 ports are "open drain" , analogous to open collector in TTL; which has the ability to sink current, but not source it. Thanks for letting us know, and congratulations for sorting it out. Steve |

| neve drive led directly with an 8051 , always | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
Wrong - there's nothing wrong with direct drive... | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
