I am currently attempting to control the Arduino Uno's Tx and Rx LEDs.
These are connected to digital pins 0 and 1 respectively, which are AFAIK, PD4 and PD5.
They are held at +5V, so I assumed that they would switch on when PD4,5 were driven low, however this has not proven to be the case.
I would be immensely grateful if anybody could offer a solution.
The schematic I referred to is here: http://arduino.cc/en/uploads/Main/Arduino_Uno_Rev3-schematic.pdf
I have literally just noticed that the Tx and Rx LEDs are controlled by a second microcontroller!
Thought I was writing for the 328, happens that they're controlled by a 16U2 on the board.
Teaches me not to read all the small print.
There should be a built-in LED controlled by the ATMega328
This is shown at top-centre of your circuit diagram, near U5B
On the top of the physical board it appears to be near the Tx and RX LEDs and is marked "L"
LED: 13. There is a built-in LED connected to digital pin 13. When the pin is HIGH value, the LED is on, when the pin is LOW, it's off.

The Duemilanove also has a LED on header-pin 13 - I think this is an Arduino tradition.
