sound reactive mod question
« on: February 14, 2008, 05:00:53 AM »
Hello,

I am doing my first sound reactive mod as outlined in the tutorial and wiki
Can somebody tell me if resistors are needed from the supply voltage to the LED's from pin 6 of the LM386 Audio Amplifier IC.
I am using red and white LED's.

Thanks,

Davebere.

i really think a resistor depends on how many leds but i dont know
come to the rite place if you kiss admins as they promote you to admin.

Thanks for trying to help whitetop.

Can anybody tell me what the peak voltage output is ?
I have measured 2.25. I did not use resistors and my red LED's keep burning out.

EDIT: Well I guess I will try a 22 OHM resistor.

well i was told to use a 10ohm resister

based on the peak voltage I measured (2.25) and the 1.7 max  votage recomended for red LED's the calculator gave me 22 ohm's.
