SOLVED Bi-color LED Issue...

[Coda]

I am currently working on a build that calls for a bi-color LED. I cannot seem to get the LED to light, however. I installed the LED correctly, and the pedal works with a traditional (and boring) standard LED...but not when I put the bi-color one in. Am I missing something? Is there some special trick to using a bi-color LED?

The Build Doc's provide a rundown on the installation: three pads on the PCB, three legs on the LED. Maybe the resistor is too large a value for this LED? The LED works...I tested it and it lit up fine. But I get nothing when I put the LED in the PCB.

Are you sure that you have the correct pin out? Does the BOM/schematic call for common anode or common cathode?

Common anode...and I have common cathode LED's. Boom. Thank you.

I didn’t even know there were two options! Too many choices!
