optoelectronics - How is optimum series resistor of an optocoupler sized?


I want to learn how to size the series resistor for this optocoupler which has a high CTR.


I will use Arduino's 5V digital output pins for eight of this coupler so I really want to source necessary enough current from each pin.

What is the method to calculate the optimum like series resistor(R1 above) in this case?

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
