+Here's **an example** of toggling GPIO pin 40 inside Script node from the host (via :ref:`XLinkIn`). On `OAK-SoM-Pro <https://docs.luxonis.com/projects/hardware/en/latest/pages/BW2099.html>`__,
+GPIO 40 drives FSYNC signal for both 4-lane cameras, and we have used the code below for this exact reason.
