It's probably me, but I've had to rebuild my baybus for about three times now. They're just 4 stupid switches with control leds and 2 audio ports. Now for the even more stupid questions: Will the leds burn up when I solder them to a 12V line with the resistors soldered after it? (+) --------0------[]------- (-) 0=led, [] is resistor And also, does anyone have any other ideas on baybus styling?
I thought the point of the resistor was to limit how much power gets to the led, not how much gets out...
I know what you mean, but I have a friend who thinks it won't matter on which side you put the resistor and now I'm a little confused...
Like Oclocker said, it doesn't matter which side of the led is that resistor connected. (+) --0---0--[]--0--- (-) is the same as (+) ---0---0----0---[]--- (-) or (+) ---[]---0---0---0--- (-) etc. 0=led, [] is resistor How much current goes inside the circuit and how much will come are equal so you don't have to think that the first led is getting more electricity than the led after the resistor.
omg... I never expected the legendary japala to respond to this one. Thanks man, since you say it doesn't matter I am sure as well now Anyone got some nice designing ideas for the baybus?
Try cpemma's voltage regulator + 10 leds indicator... I was going to build it, but i keep changing ideas on how to mod my system...
Curently I have 4 switches, no knobs, control leds, audio ports. I have an idea worked out now, but am not sure if it will look cool. What do you think about the idea?
