Answered: Is is legal to "Y" off LEDs?

[Bryon_Tjanaka]

Karthik,

In <R12>, it states:

<R12> A maximum of one (1) VEX Y-cable can be used per Motor Port of the Microcontroller or Power Expander. (You cannot “Y off a Y” to have more than two (2) motors controlled by the same Motor Port.)
a. Teams using the VEX ARM® Cortex®-based Microcontroller can only power one (1) 2-wire Motor per each of the two 2-wire motor ports on the Microcontroller. It is illegal to “Y” off a 2- wire Motor Port.
b. Teams may not “Y” off a Motor Controller 29

However, nothing is mentioned about VEX LEDs. I am thinking of connecting two LEDs to a digital port to save space. Would this be legal? Thank you!

Yes, you are allowed to use Y-Cables to connect multiple LEDs to a single digital port.
