Hi, I am working on Zybo and not entirely sure how the outputs will behave when 2 leds are connected as the figure shows. Pins JE1 and JE2 are configured as PWM outputs for the PL on the same port (JE single-ended standard Pmod port) and the VCC and GND pins shown in the figure are located on the same port as well. The usual thing to do is to supply energy to the external led as shown on the left of the figure, but can I connect a second led as shown on the right at the same time? I understand the if the pin is an output, then current should exit from it, but what happens when current enters? By the way.. I've tested both circuits independently (i'll wait an answer to connect both circuits at the same time) and they turn on the led with the respective duty cicle of each PWM, but still why does it work when a current enters the output pin?
