#85473 - Opto input
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I would never attach an opto directly to a port pin, I would use a schmitt trigger, like an ls14.

Design component values for 5V operation are typically, for things like an H11A1, 150R (input resistor) and 220 R load resistor - 5V rails.

Your mileage may vary.
