RBM33 External LED

Thu Jun 03, 2021 7:10 pm

Hi,
Is it possible to connect external LED's to the M33 RB. We place these in a dedicated external enclosure and would like to connect some external LED's so we can see if the board is powered up etc without having to open the enclosure up.

I have looked up the GPIO output but there doesn't seem to be any mention of external LED connections.

Thanks

For powered up state, if you don't use USB port, you can try to connect some led on this port.

Regards.

Unfortunately the USB port is being used. Maybe its one for the request section as these boards are designed to go into enclosures so woudl be a handy feature to have.

.
You could go the mechanical/optical route and use a light pipe to bring out an onboard led -
