Hi guys! How many led can be connect in parallel to the 5V+ on a keywiz usb?

Franco B:

It depends on the LEDs forward voltage and the LEDs forward current.

If you know the specs of your LEDs you can use [this] calculator to design a parallel array.

Note, you want to keep the total current drawn under 500ma so you don't damage your PC.

If I put in the specs of some of the LEDs I have into that calculator (3.4V, 30ma) it looks like I would theoretically be able to connect 16 of those LEDs in parallel whilst drawing 480ma.
