 Note: Digilent strongly recommends the use of Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) when driving the tri-color LEDs (for information on PWM, see section 15.1). Driving any of the inputs to a steady logic ‘1’ will result in the LED being illuminated at an uncomfortably bright level. You can avoid this by ensuring that none of the tri-color signals are driven with more than a 50% duty cycle. Using PWM also greatly expands the potential color palette of the tri-color led. Individually adjusting the duty cycle of each color between 50% and 0% causes the different colors to be illuminated at different intensities, allowing virtually any color to be displayed. Note: Digilent strongly recommends the use of Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) when driving the tri-color LEDs (for information on PWM, see section 15.1).

-The Pmod connectors are arranged in a 2x6 right-angle, and are 100-mil female connectors that mate with standard 2x6 pin headers.. Each 12-pin Pmod connector provides two 3.3V VCC signals (pins 6 and 12), two Ground signals (pins 5 and 11), and eight logic signals, as shown in Fig 20. The VCC and Ground pins can deliver up to 1A of current. Pmod data signals are not matched pairs, and they are routed using best-available tracks without impedance control or delay matching. Pin assignments for the Pmod I/O connected to the FPGA are shown in Table 6.+The Pmod ports are arranged in a 2x6 right-angle, and are 100-mil female connectors that mate with standard 2x6 pin headers..

-  * On power-up, the seven-segment display will show the results of an automated test for the onboard CellRAM, accelerometer, and temperature sensor. It will then display a moving snake pattern. Note that the accelerometer test will fail if the board is on an unstable or un-level surface when it is powered on, and the temperature sensor test may fail if the board is in an extreme thermal climate. With these two considerations in mind, if your board is reporting a failure, make note of the error code and contact Digilent support at support@digilentinc.com. +  * On power-up, the seven-segment display will show the results of an automated test for the onboard CellRAM, accelerometer, and temperature sensor.

 All Nexys4 boards are 100% tested during the manufacturing process. If any device on the Nexys4 board fails test or is not responding properly, it is likely that damage occurred during transport or during use. Typical damage includes stressed solder joints and contaminants in switches and buttons resulting in intermittent failures. Stressed solder joints can be repaired by reheating and reflowing solder and contaminants can be cleaned with off-the-shelf electronics cleaning products. If a board fails test within the warranty period, it will be replaced at no cost. Contact Digilent for more details. All Nexys4 boards are 100% tested during the manufacturing process.
