Welcome to the first article and video in our LED Night Flying Series! I hope you find the series educational and entertaining as we build up our
Let’s continue with a look at LED characteristics and a little introduction to your most simple LED circuit, a single LED with and without a resistor (without is bad if you’re
So, last time we introduced the simple LED circuit. A power supply (your battery), anLED (the light), and a resistor (to limit current). We introduced all the math
Parallel LED Circuits Keep in mind… A single series circuit has limits Remember your LED calculators from the last article! LED Wizard LED Calculator HB LED Calc If you
If you’re building your own circuits, chances are you’ll need a lot of these tools or equivalents. If you’re not, well, then skip down to
We’ll use 3 White LEDs from Radio Shack, wired in series. Two pairs of this circuit will be created, one for each side of the craft.
