Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knows how to wire LEDs to the EZ-B?
What kind of LEDs are compatible as far as voltage and brightness and do I also need resistors?
Please let me know when you can.
Thank you,
Chris
To me, I do not see why there would be any reason to believe it to be bad on an LED to be in parallel. I have seen many main stream products wired as such and have never had a problem doing it my self. Just LEDs( Light Emitting Diodes) current only flows in one direction and placing them in parallel just allows them to be set at the same voltage level but each has its own current level, as long as they are the same type each should have the same current level then too.
Just try not to mix and match LEDs of difference, use same rated and perhaps same colored.
Sounds good to me. I am going to take your advice.
I just ordered my EZ-B kit as well as the bench power supply.
Hopefully it wont take to long to come. I have other parts ready i just need to put stuff together.
Thanks again,
Chris
No prob and even if it's a bit late it is a platform worth while. I've programmed with multiple different controllers and I really believe DJ has put a lot towards making this product what it is. Not only in the sense of the EZ-B's abilities but allowing multiple different backgrounds to exercise their creativity in building and playing with electronics, both hardware and software alike.
I agree, it has a lot of potential. I have a project in mind that I have been planning for over a year.
I know a little bit of programming with VB and the software is very user friendly.
I am able to do a lot and I can't wait until I receive it and begin posting pictures.
I appreciate the help and keep doing it. It is people like you in the EZ-Robot community that allows people like me who do not know as much yet to step out with confidence and actuaully build something.
Thanks again,
Chris
Hope this helps
