Well, I agree, I do not know anything about circuits except that if you touch one side of a battery to a light bulb, and the other side of the battery to the other part of the light bulb, it glows. That's honestly all I know. If you have some online resources that will explain these things, they would be GREATLY appreciated since im starting to find this stuff interesting. |

Electronics Basics Otherwise, Google is your friend. I hope you won't be disappointed to learn that electronics is almost entirely math. I usually do put the resistor on the anode of the LED, but it was easier to draw it this way in paint. Again, it makes no difference. |

Okay thanks alot. I looked up alot of different things on google over few days, transistors, resistors, how LEDs work, that kinda crap. I do not mind the math, because well, Im very good at math :) Not nerdy, but its like natural. Also, remember how I said I wanted an OFF function, I realized nobody put that, so what I figured is that on the circuit, where it says +5, I will put a switch there that will allow power off, then after the switch comes a pot to control brightness. Im assuming that would work, right? SEE I DO TRY :D |

Haha smartass :P BTW if you have any more links for electronic crap its all welcome :D I think I know what Im going to do for this now, thanks. I was going to ask what you used for schematics, but Paint is what you said, and wow...thats umm, pretty cool for paint. |
