Examples
A Bi Colour LED should be connected between two microcontroller I/O pins as shown below.
The series resistor can be on either side of the LED and acts to protect the LED from damage due to excess current. The value of resistor used can be changed based on the brightness of the LED and power consumption.
This LED Calculator tool is a good resource for calculating the correct LED series protection resistor.
