Shared Pins

As shown in the connectivity Table 5.1 above, some pins are shared:

Buttons BTNL and BTNU share functions with PGD and PGC signals used for programming. Therefore, the
following line should be inserted in the code, to disable their programming function.
#pragma config JTAGEN = OFF

Buttons BTNR and BTND share the pins with S0_PWM and S1_PWM, explained in
so these resources should be used exclusively.

BTNC is shared with TRIG_1 signal in
Analog Discovery board experiment.

RGB LED

The Basys MX3 board contains one tri-color (RGB) LED. The LED allows the user to obtain any RGB color by
configuring the R, G and B color components.
The usage of the RGB LED is the same as controlling three separate LEDs, one for each color. Figure 6.1 shows the
way the RGB LED is electrically connected on the Basys MX3.
