3.1 Description of
User LEDs
The STK500 starter kit includes 8 yellow LEDs and 8 push-button switches. The LEDs
and switches are connected to debug headers that are separated from the rest of the
board. They can be connected to the AVR devices with the supplied 10-wire cable to the
pin header of the AVR I/O ports. Figure 3-4 shows how the LEDs and switches can be
connected to the I/O port headers. The cables should be connected directly from the
port header to the LED or switch header. The cable should not be twisted. A red wire on
the cable indicates pin 1. Confirm that this is connected to pin 1 on each of the headers.
Figure 3-2 shows how the LED control is implemented. This solution will give the same
amount of light from the LED for all target voltages from 1.8V to 6.0V.
