General • Re: Can I use a Pico to drive the PWM pin of an LED driver that has a weak internal pull-up to 5V without damaging the P

I'd be inclined to add a buffer transistor or optoisolator. It would have been nice if the input to the module was an optoisolator, but because you saw a voltage on the pin when it was powered and not connected it probably is not the case.

Here's a compact 4-channel option, you'd need three of them:

There is a similar module based on PC817.

Using an optoisolator also allows you to separate the 48V LED supply from the 5V Pico supply. Unless of course you're using a buck regulator to drop 48V to 5V and power everything.
