DE-10 Nano GPIO's Query

Unread post by Alkadian »

Hi guys,

Dumb question here. I am working on a small project where I need to connect a 7-segments display. I was thinking to use 4 switches placed on a breadboard to select one of the 7 segments. Looking at the DE-10 Nano specifications, all the GPIO pins are 3.3V. Say for example that I want to connect each switch to the following pins:

GPIO_0[10]
GPIO_0[11]
GPIO_0[12]
GPIO_0[13]

Does that mean that I need to use a voltage divider to drop from 5v to 3.3v or can I safely connect 5V directly to the pins?

Many thanks in advance! :)
