From the OI Reference Guide, p.5, "The LED drivers provide 5V that is current limited to 10mA. Connect the LED’s anode to the desired LED drive pin. Connect the LED’s cathode to any ground pins."
Thanks for that catch. I had read that a few days ago, but didn't think about it this morning when I posted the original reply.
