Led Help

[Shadow]

so I spent 30 minutes looking for a tutorial but couldnt find one and the search function didnt work said no results, SO.. i thought i would ask haha. how do you setup the led's? it is my first helmet and I cant get further till I get the led holes drilled. Also wheres a good p[lace for supplies? I was thinking radio shack. I tried uploading pictures but it says ive used all my 4 1/2 mb but i dont have any pics uploaded and the files only 435kb . Thanks

There is a tutorial in the Pep sub-forum in the creation discussion board. Only thing I'd recommend changing from that tutorial is to use 10mm LED's instead of 5mm.

I used the second wiring diagram, with 10mm jumbo LEDs from radioshack. I couldn't find any 200 ohm resistors there, so I just put 2 100 ohm resistors in line.



For pictures, try creating a photobucket account. It's free and lets you upload just about any file size.
