Hi,

how did you simulate this?
This schematic is exactly the same (IIRC) as used in old Diode Logic (but
now only 1-input nand) so it should work...
What if we used standard 1N4148 diodes?
The voltage drop on the Schottky diode is 0.6 Volts.
If the uC out port is at 0 V, the AJB remote line will be pulled down to
0.6 V; when the uC Out port is at 5 V, the AJB remote is at ~5 V due to
the pullup. (it's easy to make mistakes though, with this kinda stuff,
especially since it's holiday - so correct me if i'm wrong)
Perhaps PSPICE has some problems with grounding and stuff; how exactly did
you connect a ground to this schematic?
