BBII LED's

I can make the LED’s turn on with a ‘HIGH’ command from by basic stamp chip, but when i send a ‘low’ to turn the LED off again, it stays on?

When i connect an LED to the board on a servo cable, the high and low commands work ok!

Any Ideas??

We are going to need a schematic, or additional information in order to help. Do you have the specs for the LED? What resistor value are you using?

I think he is talking about the leds on the bb2 on pins 12,13,14, but I am guessing.

I was going to ask if he had anything else plugged into those IO pins

Doh! Yeah you are probably right. :blush: In that case…

As instructed on page one, item one, of the Bot board manual. You can turn the LED on by making the I/O pin a low. Making the pin an input will turn it off. You can also read the button by making the pin an input and testing for a low. But you shouldn’t make the pin a high, because if you press it’s associated button it’s a direct short to ground, and it can damage the I/O pin. Making the pin a high will not light up the LED.

Let me know if I’m on the right track. Hope this helps.
