Modding Another silly quick question :)

Which side of an LED do resistors go on? -/+? And yes I used the search, was just too lazy to google it tho

 

I am pretty darn sure that it goes on the anode (+) side

Code:

                 R1            D1
DC+-----------/\/\/\/\--------->|---------------DC common

 

Well, it works either way, just wasnt sure if it mattered. My fingers are all torn up from filing circular pieces of PCB to make my own mini Luxeon stars Yay for end-lit water filled 1" clear acrylic.

 

The positive side is generally preferred.

 

You'd want to put it on the positive side, because ideally your current would flow from the positive to negative side

 

Damn this is gonna look cool I'm gonna need sunglasses or..........a toggle switch for when I dont need my whole room illuminated at night Thanks guys.

 

Like this:


Ignor all of that other stuff

Negative side. The current is the same for all things in series.



PS - This was before I had a decent circuit design program. All is better now .
