LED resistors
orchidius:
Does it make any difference if I get common cathode or common anode? Apart from maybe having to wire them differently?

All you need for determining resistor values.

Yes, excellent site

Technically it doesn't matter, but it seems a little "cleaner" to put them next to the LED so you just have simple wires going into the LEDWiz, not the resistor legs. They're a really pain to solder up either way, or maybe I just don't know the trick?

I hear you buddy. They can be a PITA to wire up.

You need common anode RGBs.
