Pmod8LD C code

[Esonwe]

Good evening. I am attempting to utilize the LEDs on a Pmod8LD board. The Pmod8LD is conneted to a CEREBOT MX4 ck chipkit. I a using a MPLAB IDE v8.91 compiler. The source code that I am implementing is C. I am attempting to turn on the LEDs and I am not too familiar with the hardware. Is there any reference material or any input that may point me in the right direction. Any info would be helpful. Thank you

@Esonwe,

Glad you asked!  You can find a reference page for the PMod 8LD here.  From there, you can find a link to its schematic, a PMod pinout diagram, a reference manual, and even a sample project for the ChipKit Mx3, if I recall correctly.

Judging from the schematic, controlling the PMod is quite simple: wire each of the pins to generic I/O pins, set those pins for 3.3V output, and toggle them to your hearts desire.  If the output pin is set high, the LED will be on, if set low, then the LED will be off.  Let us know if you have further questions.

P.S.  I'm assuming your other post was about this same question, right?
