Thanks, that's a good artcle on this topic! It says different LEDs gives different votage levels. Even 1.5 V could be achived! Wich leads to another silly question: do we have to protect the pin of the PIC if it was driven directly in a normal LED flashing app? So I put the device under the sunlight, the LED is not currently switched on so there will be a 1.5 on the PICs pin (well it's not that much or is it?)
