I have been playing with the GPIO pins both through the OS as well as Python using the adafruit libraries, and I am seeing some strange behavior. When I connect an LED + 470 Ohm resistor to GND and a GPIO pin set as OUTPUT, I see the LED glow dimly (i.e there is a slight voltage present) even when the pin is set to LOW! When I set the pin to HIGH, however, I see the expected result (i.e the LED lights up normally).
This behavior is seen with all GPIOs, and I am wondering if it is normal. Shouldn't the voltage across the GPIO pins and GND be zero when set to low? I have an Element 14 RevC. with the latest Debian installed. Any help/insight would be much appreciated. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
