This I/O box has 5 inputs to the Brightsign Compacts (Brightsign inputs 0-4), and utilizes the 3 remaining I/O's (I/O 5,6 and 7) to control the lights in a binary controlled manner.

See the schematic for the binary to display conversion table (GPIO signals to control the LED back lights).  Light controls are GPIO-5, GPIO-6, GPIO-7

Buttons are available in Red, Green, Yellow and Clear.  The key caps are 'legendable'.  Meaning, that the key caps can be removed and a small overlay can be inserted to label the button use.

The standard box has the Green button and Green LED's as shown.

Follow this link to see how to set the GPIO pins to control the Lights.  BrightAuthor (how to set lights).

GPIO-5, GPIO-6 and GPIO-7 controls the 5 Lights using a 'coding' method.  See the Schematic on the coding.
