This is the result of our (Jesse Allison and Tim Place) tests with a multimeter on pin configuration on May 20,2002. The software interface used was the help patch for Jeremy Bernstein's activewire Max object, and the driver(extension) used was the same one included with the Max object.
+ indicates that a voltage was always present
- indicates that a voltage was never present
numbers indicate the io# that the pin was mapped to in the help patch.
We were experimenting with it to try and get a continous controller (voltage) for using sensors with the Activewire. Upon further reading in the documentation, finding Jeremy's experience with this, and being unable to get a response from the company, I have the impression that this will not work... Still, the little lcd add-on works great, and is quite handy.
