I recall seeing a schematic with some pins from serial port used to provide power to a voltage regulator, with its regulated output used to power a 16f84.
I measured the serial pins 4 and 7, and gave a reading of about -11V, with respect to pin 1(gnd).
If I reverse it (connect serial pin 4 to gnd of regulator, and serial pin 1 to input of regulator) the regulator output only measured +3.1V.
Anyone who can provide me details on how I should go about it. I'm trying to avoid using an external power supply as I only need to provide power to the 16f84.
How should it then be wired and what Regulator should I use?
