I found that there are not a lot of videos on the internet explaining how to connect Amiga LED lights to a pi 4B, so I thought I would show my progress making my piMiga act like an actual A1200.

My previous video came up with some problems, so this time round I am using the pi 4B to power the HD and Power LED lights. The HD light will flash each time the SD card is accessed.

Commands added to the /boot/config file:
dtoverlay=act-led,activelow=on,gpio=19
what it does: act-led(HD LED),activelow=on(turns off LED when not loading anything),gpio=19 (the pin used for the HD LED which is the top left, third in - white LED pin)

enable_uart=1
what it does: Power LED on (bottom right, black LED pin 2, yellow LED pin 3)

These LED connections might be different if the LED component was not bought from amigakit.
