Re: LEDs on Operator Console?

We use a variety of panel mount LEDs from allelectronics.com. 220 ohm resistors make for bright LEDs ESP blue. Fast shipping too. We use regular outputs for led and high current for buzzer. Wiring common annode ( with switcing to ground) means the LEDs all light up on boot. Good test to verify operation of cypress.
