Hi,
I just got my MX 222 USB

I was just wondering about GPO 4, 5 & 6. Can i transfer the connector to the +5v so i can use it as a Low power GPO? move it to the left coz its on the right side (last row of the GPO pins). Do i need a resistor for it if am going to plug LEDs on GPO 4, 5 and 6 ?

Thanks.
PS am getting a camera so i can post pictures it looks awesome great product

Let me know when the 204-25 PC USB comes out this is a elite product

the "high" power gpos do not have any current limiting on them, so you will need to add a resistor.

will it have 5v? if i transfer the connector?

Hello...

If you transfer the jumper, the high powered GPO's will have 5 Volts. Be aware that these GPO's do not have current limiting resistors.

i only used a 100 ohm resistor for a 3.6v led thanks a lot......

great support

Can I ask what you're using six LED's to display?
