I think it's around 3 volts because I had some LEDs that needed 3v and they worked fine.

If you take a multimeter to the PCB, you will find that the power points toward the middle are about 3V. The battery leads all of a sudden are nothing with the cord plugged in (why so many mods dont work when using the battery leads).

The cord provides 5V, yes, but the main circuit of the controller never sees it.

If your LED was getting hot, that  is probably becuase it needs less than 3V.

Don't be jealous your not half as smart. I hate ****tards like you. An ignorant redneck. Your nothing but a posing ******. Get the **** out of here, really, your claim to fame is an open source rapid fire code? You make me laugh. You think you have control over the modding market?  You couldn't create what I can and do. You are too ignorant with your outrageous assumptions and accusations. [/Quote]
