NOT USED
BLUE LED
RED LED
YELLOW LED
GREEN LED
NOTE: The Blue LED is connected to GPIO7 on the Wi-Fi Serial Adapter (RN-370). The Blue LED is
not connected to GPIO7 on the Surf Board (RN-134). It is not possible to power off the Blue LED on
the Surf Board.
10.5.1. Setting the alternate GPIO functions
The defaults for GPIO 4 5, 6 is to control the LED functionality. This default functionality can be
overridden to allow user programmable IO or alternate IO functionality by using the set sys
iofunc<value>command. Value is entered as a hex number.
The hex value represents a bit mask that controls each bit in the <value> represents a particular GPIO pin.
If a bit is 0, then that GPIO is driven/read by the firmware per the default function.
The IO function <value> is encoded as such:
