Thanks Loadman,

Right, as I thought, way over my head! I'll stick to the plain buttons for now, maybe buy a few LEDs and practise on a a bit of scrap.

Cheers!

Nahhh! Anybody can wrap their head round this one.......

Buy your LED's from Groovey Game Gear and they come with the correct resistor (so you won't have to work it out).

Then all you have to do is connect the resistor to the positive leg of the LED conect the other end of the resistor to +5V  and the other leg of the LED to the negative or 0V on the power supply and it will light up. Easy Peasy stuff.
