 I added following code in saadc example code to set GPIO pin high/low and monitor it in the terminal. The pull up looks ok, but when I set it to low, the reading never goes down to 0. This happened on the shared pins with LED but not the others</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 10 Mar 2017 08:19:31 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/20357/cannot-pull-down-a-gpio-pin-which-is-shared-with-led" /><item><title>RE: Cannot pull down a GPIO pin which is shared with LED</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/79345?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 10 Mar 2017 08:19:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:ab683bf5-379e-4b08-8b0f-d4e7b39d77ff</guid><dc:creator>Quark</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;OK, thanks!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Cannot pull down a GPIO pin which is shared with LED</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/79344?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 10 Mar 2017 08:17:06 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:bd2af741-4fb9-4559-a452-c31ef1ec5997</guid><dc:creator>J&amp;#248;rgen Holmefjord</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;The LEDs on the nRF52 DK are &lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.nrf52/dita/nrf52/development/nrf52_dev_kit/hw_btns_leds.html?cp=2_2_2_5_4"&gt;active low&lt;/a&gt;.
