| the data below was gonna be an attempt to explain how to use a solid state relay which consists of an infrared led and a photodiode...<br>the main reason to use this component was to provide electrical isolation / protection...but i guess if you think about, whats the point of electrical isolation when the xeno and wiikey are all tied together anyways...<br> All this data will be removed, and new project direction will be presented..<br>

| |
| '''if anyone is seeing this, ignore EVERYTHING below....i need to figure out if i still want to use this data....'''<br>

| ==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

Main
concept: use a xenogc modchip in tandem with wiikey fusion drive replacement
theory: use the atmega 8 on the xenogc modchip to trigger a response required for the WKF to initialize iso loading.
proof of concept: haha, no proof to show yet, but initial testing promises good results
