Adding a running led

Post by Sprockett » Wed May 18, 2016 7:32 pm

I'm going to use the GPIO for my controller, that and the two for sound take up quite a few pins. The way I have the layout a small LED would be great to show that the unit is on (I'm using the old power plug hole). I did a little research and it looks like I need a python script to turn it one, which will be an interesting challenge.

Any ideas?

Thanks

The best way is to connect the battery directly to the led. So whenever you turn on the switch the led lights up
