In an LED circuit, particularly when referring to an LED, the designators A and K typically represent the following:
  • A (Anode): The positive terminal of the LED where the current flows into the LED.
  • K (Cathode): The negative terminal of the LED where the current flows out of the LED.
So, when you see:
  • Designator K: This is the cathode of the LED.
  • Designator A: This is the anode of the LED.
In your project schematic:
  • KK is the cathode of the LED.
  • AA is the anode of the LED.
Typical Connection for an LED
To light up an LED, you would generally connect a current-limiting resistor in series with the LED:
  • Connect $K:1$ to one terminal of the current-limiting resistor.
  • Connect the other terminal of the current-limiting resistor to ground.
  • Connect $A:2$ to the positive voltage supply (e.g., Vcc).
This will enable the LED to light up when a voltage is applied.
Would you like more specific guidance or any additional details on how to configure this within Flux?

To connect A and K, you can simply make the following connection in your schematic:
  • Connect A:2 to K:1.
Make sure to verify the designators and pins to ensure they correspond correctly to your specific components. Does that help with your design?
