Circuit Playground Red LED - not functioning

Post by Jwilkinspltw »

I am having an issue where the red LED on a few of my boards are no longer working. I can program them and make everything else work, just not the red LED output 13. I have lots of experience with Arduino's and have used your products for the past 5 years or so. I have downloaded the Firmata sketch with the Arduino IDE to get the base software back on it. That works with the neopixels and speaker, but not red LED. I also made a few sketches in the Maker App from Code.org and downloaded to the board. Everything works but the red LED. Thoughts?

Here is a short video showing the issue.

Unlike an UNO, the LED on the Flora is on pin 7: https://learn.adafruit.com/getting-star ... nboard-led

Well, it has a screen print of #13 next to it. It is the redLED status indicator that should flash when you plug it in. Did you even view the video I submitted?

Have you tried running the default blink code from the Arduino IDE?
