Hi, I am just taking my first steps with my ez-b v4.
I would like to connect some LEDs to the ez-b v4. Maybe some colorful ones that light permanently and an LED that can switch colors? (RGB-LED?)
Which LEDs would be good for this little project?
I already have a package with LEDs and resistors, but I am not sure if I can use them for this: Microtivity IL188 5mm Assorted Clear LED w/ Resistors (8 Colors, Pack of 80) There are also 200 ohm resistors included.
Which cable and which plug/connector should I buy to solder them with the LEDs so I can connect them well with the ez-b v4?
Do I need anything else?
I would be very happy if you could help me with my first steps.
Please read post #2 again carefully. Most questions are answered there. servo cables can easily be found on Amazon a hobby shop or ebay. Just do a Google search or a search on the website of one of those places.
In the product review people write, that the LEDS pull around 20ma, depending on the color.
Can I use the LEDs safely with the ez-b v4, when I add a resistor between the ez-b and the LED?
Depending on the color one LED needs between 1.9 and 3.2V. The LED pulls around 20ma, as people write in the reviews. So a resistor with 220-270 ohm should do the job, since the ez-b provides 7,4 V, shouldnt it?
