Re: LEDs stopped working
Okay I found my problem, the battery I was using was only putting out 5 volts total. enough to barely light the two and not enough for all three. So I swtiched out with a new battery, (The one that killed my green LEDs) and used a 100Ohm Resistor (I might go with...
Re: LEDs stopped working
Hello, I got all this soldered up and tried it out, It didnt do anything until I put the two LED leads of the last LED that goes to the battery negative together .
What did I do wrong?
Thanks
Re: LEDs stopped working
Okay I think I get it.
Thanks,

One last question I have, do you have a picture for a series with three LEDs?
Thanks
Re: LEDs stopped working
Hello, I just wanted to make sure of something before I use more LEDs because I dont want to kill 3 more LEDs.
So anyone who has been reading this thread all the way through or if john blue is here.
I drew another picture of what I think the difference of parallel...
Re: LEDs stopped working
Thats funny I was just coming to ask you one last question about resistors and you told me. I was coming to ask if I put resistors on each one or just the beginning of the circuit.
Thanks, and ill read that LED page.
Re: LEDs stopped working
Yeah. Well ill try some stuff out with it in the morning and see what I can come up with. I will post my results or anymore problems I have on this thread.
Thanks for all your help,
Daniel
Re: LEDs stopped working
I dont know if the way I have mine connected it an okay way but ill let you tell me if it is. Ill draw a picture showing how its setup.
The red parts are the solder points
Also here is the link to the LEDs I used:
