Actors¶
RGB LED
FortiThing has a total of 4 programmable RGB LEDs. Utilisig the new NS107S 2020 LED. The LED can be used with the FastLED Library for Example within the Arduino Framework.
User progammable Switch
There is 1 main programmable tactile switch (SW). The 2nd one is “Ena” - however this has a special function during booting and should be used with care.
On the backside of the board there is a “touch sensor” (capcitive touch sensor)
mini LED (Blue)
Another small (blue) LED is on-board which is user controlled. It can be used as additional LED.
