Title: can i add an LED for on off to an Xin mo 1 player enconder.

Hello

Well the titles say it all pretty much, i own a xin mo 1 player enconder and was wondering if it is possible to and an led for on off maybe one for turbo on and off to..

my enconde is this one https://www.smallcab.net/player-joystick-buttons-arcade-encoder-pcps3-28mm-termi-p-271.html. (https://www.smallcab.net/player-joystick-buttons-arcade-encoder-pcps3-28mm-termi-p-271.html.)

I don't see an output for a turbo indicator LED on the Xin-Mo.   :dunno

The good news is an on/off LED is very easy to add.

Pretty sure that Pin 2 on your Xin-Mo is VCC (operating voltage) -- it should be 5v, but verify with your multimeter.

All you need to do is:
- Choose an LED with known voltage and current ratings
- Enter "Source voltage" (VCC), "diode forward voltage" (LED voltage rating), and "diode forward current" (LED current rating in mA) into the calculator here (http://led.linear1.org/1led.wiz/) to find the correct resistance and wattage specs for a current limiting resistor
- Hook it up   ;D

VCC ---- resistor ---- +LED- ---- GND
