Status LEDs

Functionality overview

Status LED commands control the operational behavior of Red Pitaya’s status LEDs. Enable or disable the automatic LED patterns that indicate system status, allowing manual LED control for custom applications.

Important notes

  • Default state is ON (automatic status indication).

  • Disabling the Ethernet LEDs will help reduce the fast analog input and output noise on the Original generation of boards.
