	~~==Technical Data==~~
	~~The foundation for Xeno Fusion is based upon basic LED connectivity.<br>~~
	~~The diagram in figure 1 shows an LED connected to an Atmega8 (XenoGC) at pin PD5 and GND. Current flows from the anode to the cathode and a resistor is used for current limiting protection. <br>~~


	~~'''fig. 1'''<br>~~
	~~[[File:Xeno_fusion_example_LED.png‎‎\|500px]]<br>~~
	~~Atmega8L (XenoGC) operates at 3.3v and will deliver up to 3.3v @ 40mA output per pin.<br>~~
	If an LED is rated at 2.0v forward voltage with up to 20mA forward current, then a current-limiting resistor value of 220ohms will provide 5.9mA of operational current which is under 20mA of forward current allowing a safe operation condition for the LED. Also the current-limiting resistor creates a 1.3v voltage drop. <br><br>
	~~current = (( supply voltage - forward voltage ) / resistor value ) * 1000 <br>~~
	~~current = (( 3.3v - 2v ) / 220 ohm) * 1000 <br>~~
	~~current = (( 1.3v ) / 220ohm) * 1000 <br>~~
	~~current = (( 0.0059 ) * 1000 <br>~~
	~~current = 5.9 mA <br>~~

	~~voltage drop = resistance * current<br>~~
	~~voltage drop = 220ohm * 5.9 mA <br>~~
	~~voltage drop = ~ 1.3v<br>~~


	~~blah blah blah <br><br>other notes just for now: <br>~~
	~~both xeno leds have 100ohm resistors<br><br>~~
	~~xeno red led voltage across diode = 1.74v<br>~~
	~~15.6mA = ((3.3v - 1.74v) / 100ohm) * 1000<br><br>~~
	~~xeno yellow led voltage across diode = 1.85v<br>~~
	~~14.5mA = ((3.3v - 1.74v) / 100ohm) * 1000<br>~~

	~~total current draw = 30.1mA~~
