Now we will add a Green LED and a Red LED as status indicators. We will also need two 560 ohm resistors.
For the Green LED we will wire the cathode(-) to ground. The cathode is the shorter length lead. The anode(+) will connect to the 560 Ohm resistor. The other end of the resistor will go to pin 0 on the feather.
The Red LED will be mostly similiar but connected to pin 1 on the Feather.
We will be using the code from previous step but adding the parts for the LED's
- The LED's and what pin they are assigned to
- Set the pins the LED's are on as outputs
- Turning on red LED if alarming
- Turning on green LED if not alarming

After loading the new code on the Feather it should look like this picture and the green LED should be illuminated if below the alarm level. Otherwise the red LED should be on.
