Way To Power An Led Rather Than Dig. Port

I'm really sort on digital ports on my rad project. I don't have any more digital ports left. I don't want to spend +$10 on a tip circuit because that wont allow me to turn individual leds on and off. Is there an alternate way I could power them?

What is that plug with 6 pins on the middle left of the board beside the proccessor? theres power outputs there. And there's also that 2 pin plug above D14.

sorry about that. I missed it. so the expansion port is the one with 6 pins? if so, what about the 2 pin port above d14?

It's just a gnd and +5. Extended off the row of digital labelled pins.

that would work? it would turn on with the ez-b, right?

As DJ has mentioned, if you want them to come on with the EZ-B and have no control over them then use the +5 and Ground on the side expansion port.

The +5 and Ground of the digital track should also work if you really wanted to use them.

side expansion port and 2 pin ports can both be used. ok. now I know what to do. thanks everyone!i!

I could have sworn that I used the variable on the Analog ports. But, you guys have a better memory than me. You have to take what I say with a grain of sand.
