        name: LED Red
      P9_12:
        name: LED Green

Configuration variables:

• pins array (Required): Array of used ports.
  • pin_name (Required): Port numbers and corresponding names.
    • name (Optional): Friendly name to use for the frontend.
    • initial (Optional): Initial state of the pin. Defaults to False.
    • invert_logic (Optional): If true, inverts the output logic to ACTIVE LOW. Default is false (ACTIVE HIGH).
