I want to re-purpose an LED on a PCB for my project while preserving it's original function at the same time. Can I remove the two pin LED and replace it with a 3 pin bicolor LED? The the signal source for the second function comes from a completely separate board, but both boards are grounded to the same battery source.
The idea is that one of the LED anodes and the cathode will be in the original two holes on the PCB, and I'll wire leads from the other PCB to the other LED anode and the same cathode. It seems like to me this should work since both boards have the same ground (eventually), but I didn't design the circuits and only sort of know what I am doing. :toothless
Thanks!
