First of all. I understand it can be used as a gate inverter.
Is a gate inverter essentially the same thing as a NOT (logic) gate?
Secondly.
I see the gate inverter will convert 5v to 0v, and from 0v to 5v.
This is great, but must it receive a 5v signal first so it knows what value to change the 0v signal too?
It doesn't seem to specifiy this in the manual online and I haven't purchased one yet so was wondering if anyone could clear that up.
I'm guessing either
a) it needs a 5v signal first (to know what to convert 0v to)
or
b) it defaults to 5v (perhaps changeable by internal jumper)
