Re: Help with LEDs

Hi Mike,
Can you give us a little more info about these LEDs? Are they LED strips or lights on a component?
Are they 12V or 5V LEDs?
Are they individually addressable, RGB or solid color?
How many LEDs are you trying to drive with the DIO?

My offhand guess is that you're exceeding the current supplying capability of the DIO pin unless you're only driving a few LEDs
