LED 40-Pin GPIO Header
Pin Number Pin Name
Positive 36 GPIO40
Negative 34 GND

Perform the following to connect the LED to the 40-pin GPIO Header:

  1. Connect GPIO36 pin of VisionFive 2 to the red line of the breadboard.
  2. Set up the resistor as shown in the following figure.
  3. Connect the longer leg of the LED to the red line of the breadboard.
  4. Connect the shorter leg of the LED to the blue line of the breadboard.
  5. Connect the GND pin of VisionFive 2 to the blue line of the breadboard.
