 I want to control an LED with the nrf GPIO, the LED Anode is connected to VDD, through a resistor, and the cathode is connected to the GPIO. Under this configuration, the LED should be ON when the GPIO is LOW but i cannot get the signal</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Tue, 30 Nov 2021 14:13:17 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/82196/gpio-configuration-to-drive-led" /><item><title>RE: GPIO configuration to drive led</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/341335?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 30 Nov 2021 14:13:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:3e1d4e45-a807-4c3a-8513-d8191be70045</guid><dc:creator>ketiljo</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Then you need to use a transistor to drive the LED.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: GPIO configuration to drive led</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/341330?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 30 Nov 2021 14:05:20 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:7de14f3e-3ab4-447a-b760-03788fb2d8df</guid><dc:creator>User1321</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Yes, i require it to be a 0V. I want to connect that GPIO to another LED so i can turn on both LEDs by pulling that GPIO low.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also i have a TVS in the middle with the second LED.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If the anode from the LED is connected to VDD, will the LED current consumption still be a problem for the GPIO?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: GPIO configuration to drive led</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/341327?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 30 Nov 2021 13:57:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:e55b8002-e177-422a-bb7c-bbb5151ffe9d</guid><dc:creator>ketiljo</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;The problem is that the LED draws too much current so that the pin can&amp;#39;t be pulled low enough. This is not a problem for the pin, unless you&amp;#39;re using it for something else that requires it to be at 0 V.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
