Re: Wiring LED to Driverstation

Assuming a red LED:

Wire the + side of the LED to +5v pin, and the - side of the LED through a 330 Ohm 1/8 watt (or 1/4 W) resistor to the digital output pin. A "1" turns it off, and a "0" turns it on. You change the ground, not supply power.

Other colors need different ohm values.
