Xeno Fusion

....this page is under destruction

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

Technical Data

The foundation for Xeno Fusion is based upon basic LED connectivity.
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.

fig. 1

Atmega8L (XenoGC) operates at 3.3v and will deliver up to 3.3v @ 40mA output per pin.
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.

current = (( supply voltage - forward voltage ) / resistor value ) * 1000
current = (( 3.3v - 2v ) / 220 ohm) * 1000
current = (( 1.3v ) / 220ohm) * 1000
current = (( 0.0059 ) * 1000
current = 5.9 mA

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

Glossary

Confusing terms easily explained
Reverse Voltage	maximum voltage that can be applied to a component before it blows up
Forward Voltage	minimum voltage required by a component for normal operation. (basically, it is safe to apply any voltage amount between "forward" and "reverse" )
Maximum (or Continuous) Forward Current	maximum current that can be continuously applied to a component before it burns up
Operational Current	any amount of current provided to a component which allows save operation (see Forward Current)
Current-Limiting Resistor	a resistor used to protect a component from receiving too much current (see Forward Current)
Max Peak Forward Current	maximum current that can be applied during a brief current spike. typically ignore this value and rely on the forward current the component can safely handle to determine the current limiting resistor value.
Voltage Drop	the voltage difference from the power source subtracted by the forward voltage equals the voltage used by the current limiting resistor.
Transistor	component used to amplify and switch electronic signals and electrical power. (two types of bipolar transistors: NPN or PNP)
Relay	electromechanical or solid state device used to provide a normally open or normally closed output when energized or de-energized
Diode	component which allows current to pass in one direction and blocks current in the opposite direction
Infrared LED	Light Emitting Diode which outputs light in the infrared spectrum
optical isolator	component that transfers electrical signals between two isolated circuits by using light (see Infrared LED)
Photodiode	component capable of converting light into either current or voltage (example: a solar cell is a photodiode)
Photodiode opto-isolator	a device which consists of a photodiode paired with an LED. The LED provides a source of light, the photodiode detects the light and allows the flow of energy from an external source. non-mechanical equivalent of a relay. (see Relay)
ADC	Analog to Digital Converter which can be used to measure voltage
