For most of the topics on adding LEDs to the armor have been very vague. They say I need a battery holder, LEDs and a resistor. I stopped by Radio Shack and took a look at the supplies and I found that there are many different voltage LEDS and Many different OHM resistors.
1 What kind of resistor do I need?
2 And what voltage LED? I plan on using 2 for this circuit.
3 Most batteries are 1.5 volt and the LED i saw was 1.7 to 2.4 volt. If I get a battery box that takes 2 batteries, does that make 3 volts?
4 How will adding multiple LEDs affect the circuit as a whole? I.E. be dimmer or brighter.
I am sorry for being so noobish, but I have no experience with ohms and volts and watts. I need a crash course.
