[simpits-tech] landing gear indicator delay curcuit

[Cris Harrison]

ok you guys Im in pain reading this.. if your controller  has limited output
then give it a boost... and you are just wasting your time trying to drive
24vdc lights from a 5v (TTL) drive through a relay.
please find TIL-111 or opto-couplers, they are isolated so you dont blow up
your controler
basicly you put in the input your LED out put to one pin, the other is
ground. the other side looks like an open collector curcuit.

have fun
