I found a depreciated post on using display.set\_led() to set the RGB light on the PICO Display. However, I can’t find what the replacement is. Can someone please advise? Thanks

It’s now

```auto
from pimoroni import RGBLED
led = RGBLED(6, 7, 8)
led.set_rgb(0, 0, 0) # black / off

```

Thanks. Any link to doc on what the “6,7,8” mean?

Sorry about the short on info post. I was posting from my XBOX. Typing in text is done via the game controller and an onscreen keyboard. I had planed to fill in the blanks when I got back to my PC.

The LED function, and Button function are now separate from the main display code. This happened I believe when Pico Graphics came about.  
The Button Example shows how to setup the Buttons. The LED code is unfortunately burried in the Rainbow Example.  
`led = RGBLED(6, 7, 8)`  
The 6, 7, 8 are the GP used for the LED. On the Display Pack its physical pins 9, 10 and 11. In code you use the GP number so its 6, 7, 8.  
[Raspberry Pi Pico GPIO Pinout](https://pico.pinout.xyz/)  
The `led.set_rgb(0, 0, 0)` is what turns them on, Red (255, 0, 0), Green (0, 255, 0) etc.
