hey all just wanted to check before i put 5 volts on it.
i no that it says all digital pins are 5 volt tolerant but wanted to check that the led on the teensy 3.1 could handle it?
or wont it light up couse im using it as a input being that it is a diode?

googled and searched the forum but couldnt find anything that says that it can or cant take the 5 volts.

thanks
 
Hi Nick,

If you connect a 5V source to this pin, the LED will light up. It will light up a bit brighter then when you drive the LED from pin 13 itsself, since the CPU outputs 3V3, not 5V. But the resistor keeps the current through the LED within limits.

Regards,
Paul
