Always on LEDWiz ?
« on: February 18, 2011, 10:59:54 pm »
Hey all,

I have two LEDWiz-es and I have one all hooked up and blinking just fine.  I'd like to connect the second one and have it always on and passive, not needing to be controlled by anything.  Is this possible?

Thanks

If you just want your LED's on, and not blinking or controllable, you can omit the LED-Wiz and connect the LED's directly (through an appropriate resistor) to your power source.

+1. But if you want the LEDs to blink or change color/intensity without the computer on, you would need something like the PACLED64.
