no its like thislm386 output goes to the positive of first led negitive of first led goes to positive of second led negitive of second led does to ground on lm386.
And is it true that if wired in parallel, you can put an infinite # of led's (in theory)? How many can I wire total w/ a 5v connection through an LM386 chip?
it can be done bothyou are wiring it serial but he is doing it paralell
i stated the paralell wireing u illistrated a seires wireing
yep looks like u got it i cant tell u bout the resistor because i didnt use a lm386 and my led are just normal ones at radio shack so if they burn up ill replace them easy
Um.... No... What you have drawn is a series circuit, the difference between a series and a parallel is that in the series you have to add up the total voltage drop across all components in order to calculate the resistance needed, while in a parallel, the resistance is dependent on each parallel branch respectively. In the past I would just link you to my wiki entries, and forum replies where I explained these things, but unfortunately... Ok think back to school (more than 10 years for me), parallel meant two lines were across from each other with eaqual distance at both ends, and they never intersect. (Hmmmm... Perhaps it would be easier if I had visuals, but those will have to wait till later today.) A parallel circuit is the same way, sorta... Each component, in this case LEDs, are branched off from the main "line" on their own "line". Then after the the component they all branch back into the main "line". Later today I will have pictures in order to better explain, but untill then, a few thingsA. In parallel it is theoretically possible to have an infinite amount of components, because the same voltage is evenly divided amongst the parallel circuits. (Key word theoretically)2. Series circuits can only power as many components as the max supply voltage, since all the components are wired one after the other, and as voltage passes through the component, making it work, it is consumed by the component.Z. Well there really isn't another point, but I shall return with pictures... and maybe cake...
