Revolution, Sparky2 and RevoNano boards supports external leds, up to 10 of the WS2811, WS2812 and WS2812B multi-color LEDs can be used. To use more than 10 leds you need to put the strips in parallel instead of series.

The WS281x leds do not work on CC3D/Atom boards.

Board	WS281x Led outputs
Revolution	Servo outputs (1 to 6) + FlexiIO (receiver port) pin3 and pin4
Sparky2	Servo outputs (1 to 6)
RevoNano	Servo output #1 only

External Led provides visual information about flight modes or warnings during flight/pre-flight checks.

Using Revolution board, the data output can be set to:

FlexiIO_pin4,
FlexiIO_pin3
servo outputs.

NOTE: If FlexiIO_pin3 or FlexiIO_pin4 do not work for you, try using a spare servo output.

Led is powered using Gnd and +5V from board.

Go into UAVOBrowser, HWSettings > WS2811LED_Out and select the output. Click on the red arrow pointing up on a hard drive near the top of the screen to save the change to the board. Reset or power cycle the board and the LEDs will begin working.
