Hi there, I'm ordering all the parts I'm going to need for my CP today and I just wanted to make sure I don't get the wrong stuff before I actually order the parts. So... To wire up an RGB LED to the Ledwiz, I need: -An RGB LED -2 100ohm resistors, one for the "Green leg" and one for the "Blue leg" -1 150ohm resistor for the "red leg" Correct? EDIT: Also was wondering what angle the LEDs should be. Wiki says 45°, but does that mean at least 45° or just plain 45°? I found some 40° ones and some 100° ones, what would suit the pushbutton needs best? |

You could always order the whole setup from http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=83&products_id=240']GGG[/url] and save yourself some trouble... Jouster |

I could yes... But I personally think that the price of those things is worth the "trouble" it would be to solder them up yourself. I need 30, which would cost me around 145$ shipping included... I can do that for less then a third of the price, and don't mind the extra work at all. Nobody got an answer to this? I see ppl who use a 100ohm resistor for all 3 legs, is that possible too? |
| Franco B:
The resistors you require will depend on the specs of the LED, the power source and the way in which wired (single/series/paralell). We need to know: The power source (5v or 12v usually) The forward voltage of each colour anode (presuming its a common cathode LED) The diode forward current. How you are wiring the LEDs |
| orchidius:
1) The leds will just be wired to a LEDwiz, which means power from the 5v pc supply. 2) Not sure what you mean by that, they're just going to be regular 5mm RGB common + LEDs 3) Sorry to disappoint you again, but I don't know what that is :s 4) LEDs will be wired to the LEDwiz |
