I'm trying to wire an LED and 220 Ohm resistor to one of the GPIO pins on the *GP0* connector of the Blue.

(If I dim the lights in the room I can see a little light from it.) I get the same result whether I'm powered off the USB, a 12V supply, or a LiPo battery. How much current can the 3.3V supply deliver? It seems I should be able to drive an LED from it. I can drive LEDs like this from the 3.3V supply (and GPIO pins) on the Black. What's up? --Mark -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
