can anyone give me a direct link to where i can get some really bright blue 0603 leds ? i cant find any that are more than like 110 mcd .. ?

Goto this auction site on ebay. This is where I got my blue LEDs from. (this is the actual auction) Just search for the other auctions by this seller and you will find more blue LEDs in his other auctions.

http://cgi.ebay.com/50PCS-0603-Ultra-Bright-SMD-Green-LEDs-dia_W0QQitemZ260366963065QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item260366963065&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A15%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

These blue LEDs are rated at 150 MCD. Pretty sure these are about as bright as your going to want them. Let me know what you think?

Wow Blazin, those have GOT to be bright! at 100 mAh a piece, I hope he does not want to use TOO many. lol (would be prefect for SR triggers!)

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #6 on:** March 25, 2009, 10:45:25 PM »

he did say bright lol
there are different blue set that lil less bright then that i use them and there bright
but his choice hopefully he doesnt fry them.

BLAZIN FRY WHAT ?! >< I DONT WANNA FRY ANYTHING LMAO

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #8 on:** March 25, 2009, 10:54:04 PM »

lol those leds i showed make sure you look at the specs of how much voltage you need to light them so dnt use to many idk if there going try or not just did that to scare ya lol... srry

eyelykeknives · « **Reply #9 on:** March 25, 2009, 10:57:03 PM »

lmao but im using like 4 green ones that are 500 mcd each and like 2 1.8 mm blue ones that are pretty high mcd too .. theyre all direct contact / connect whatever its called lol

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #10 on:** March 25, 2009, 11:00:03 PM »

ok but look at the volts they need.
just to make sure if you connect all these leds it wont drain ur psp like crazy.

eyelykeknives · « **Reply #11 on:** March 25, 2009, 11:06:38 PM »

lol okay . if i do the lm386 thing where do you put that piece? o.o

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #12 on:** March 25, 2009, 11:09:16 PM »

you place that here

a TUT on sound reactive for 2000

eyelykeknives · « **Reply #13 on:** March 25, 2009, 11:18:26 PM »

how come the links dont work ? like once i get to the tut , when i click on like "JRF tutorial" or something its goes to here https://www.acidmods.com/Wiki/tiki-index.php?page=PSP%20Sound%20Mod and its just ablank page with acidmods on top ? o.o

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #14 on:** March 25, 2009, 11:21:11 PM »

wow thats really weird report it to the admin something may be wrong..
so that link i posted doesnt work at all..

eyelykeknives · « **Reply #15 on:** March 25, 2009, 11:22:07 PM »

nah the link you gave me works , its the links inside the link you gave me .. so i dont know how to make the lm386 piece D: i dont know how to report to admin . wanna do it for me ?

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #16 on:** March 25, 2009, 11:26:51 PM »

oh those links jsut use that one i gave you..or you can wait till i finish mine and ill have pics of my work cuz im doing one almost the same

eyelykeknives · « **Reply #17 on:** March 25, 2009, 11:29:34 PM »

oh nevermind i found this and i totally get it now . i'll just do exactly like the picture LOL

https://www.acidmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=28601.0

also, when you bridge that wifi switch it means that it'll always be on right ? so the switch becomes only for the lights ? o.o

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #18 on:** March 25, 2009, 11:31:52 PM »

oh forgot bout that link nice find

um yea if you bridge the wifi it will always be on then if you try turning it off it will just turn ur leds on.

eyelykeknives · « **Reply #19 on:** March 25, 2009, 11:35:08 PM »

nice i see .. :] where can i get 30k and 191k resistors at ? i dont think they have em at radioshack .... what are resistors even for ? what if you take out the resistors :P

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #20 on:** March 25, 2009, 11:37:23 PM »

what can do is link resistors that will add up to those like i thin i found 30k at radioshack i dnt remember but i go to this electronic store that had 30k but for 191k i have to get 11k and 180k

eyelykeknives · « **Reply #21 on:** March 25, 2009, 11:40:29 PM »

ohh .. so where the 191k resistor i just cut each leg shorter to connect em ? what are resistors for ?

Yep, as long as the values for the resistors (if you link 2 or more together) add up to the required value, then it will still work. But for the sake of space, try to find ones as close to the values you need as possible. I would also suggest getting a resistor with the gold band on the end, representing a good tolerance to voltage spikes and heating.

Resistors limit the amount of current that flows through an electrical circuit. Used to allow low-power devices to run on higher-powered sources without being damaged.

You can connect resistors in either direction, it does not matter. They are not like diodes, where the current is restricted to one direction. Keeping the legs a bit short would be good, but not so short where you have trouble soldering them together.

nice that helps . but that link definitely doesnt help LOL its so confusing D:

thearkman2009 · « **Reply #25 on:** March 26, 2009, 12:10:23 AM »

Its just there for reference, in case you have a question later on. As you get more into modding, and electrical stuff, it will become helpful, but take your time. You have to start somewhere you know!

eyelykeknives · « **Reply #26 on:** March 26, 2009, 12:13:12 AM »

lol yeah :P hey help me out again lol in this diagram https://www.acidmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=28600.0 what does the CUT TRACE HERE mean ? its on the XYAB board on the right

thearkman2009 · « **Reply #27 on:** March 26, 2009, 12:19:51 AM »

Ok, when it says to cut the trace, it means cut it! lol Split the trace to break the connection. When you cut that trace, it prevents the HOLD funtion of the power switch from activating the HOLD function on the PSP. Then solder to the part of the trace that is attached to the switch, to make the HOLD position act as the on/off for the mod. (HOLD activated LEDs)

eyelykeknives · « **Reply #28 on:** March 26, 2009, 12:38:28 AM »

OHHH i get it now :] lol do you think slim or fat lm386 is easier ?

thearkman2009 · « **Reply #29 on:** March 26, 2009, 12:46:10 AM »

personally, I would rather do the 2n2222 (Folklord36's new method) instead. There are less components, but you still need the proper resistor value for the LEDs. As far as I know, the 2n2222 method give better responses to music, and I will be able to confirm that on a Phat in a few days, once my LEDs arrive.
