Light on Devo 7e?

So it may work for a while, but variations in voltage over time will not be good to the LED. I suppose it's unlikely to hurt anything else; it'll just be a diode at that point. Personally I would put a 1/8w or 1/4w 68-80 Ohm resistor (or use the handy LED resistor calculator on that site) between the LED and ground and you'll be fine.

(means: as long as the input voltage is 1.8V over LED voltage and less than 45V DC)
I payed about 25 cents per piece.

Anyone know this off hand? Guess I will have to buy a multimeter otherwise.yets wrote: What is the voltage from the + on the switch?

Buy a multimeter in any case. You can't do this hobby without.
Cheapest useable one I came across: DT832 with continuity buzzer.
Get an AD584 reference module for around 3 bucks to check your meter. (Most probably not a needed step, but it's for the peace of mind)

Hi guys! I'm also thinking about adding some LEDs to my Devo and I think from all the setups, the one MikefromGermany has suggested looks the best. Because I'm relatively new to the hobby in general, I want to make sure I'm understanding everything correctly. I've already purchased the LEDs ( www.ebay.com/itm/152223769007?ul_noapp=true ), and now I'll order the driver ( www.mouser.bg/ProductDetail/ON-Semicondu...Y%2F1y6plKPSog%3D%3D ), so would anyone mind just detailing for me what the exact way of connecting these should be? Dd I need to place them on a circuit board, since soldering 6 elements (3 LEDs + 3 drivers) with a thin 30awg wire seems a bit too hard for me?
Many thanks in advance!
