powerboard + resistor

[roshurwill14]

hi u know the powerboard on the psp 2000 slim and lite how much is the output in voltage is it 3.6v or 5v? and for the leds do u use the 0603 leds or a normal one i need 2 green leds for my triggers....

The output is less than 3v for the power/charge leds and you need 0603 leds.

so if i had two 0603 leds would that board keep them the same brightness or would i need a resistor?

[bustinthejustin]

Well it depends how much forward voltage is needed per led. Some higher voltage ones will be dim but lower voltage ones will be fine. Either way you wont need a resistor.

[roshurwill14]

so just two 0603 0603 leds will be fine and quite bright?

[bustinthejustin]

eh, not necessarily. Blue, white, and i think a  few others will be sorta dim. Green, orange, and red will be fairly bright.

[roshurwill14]

so u think i should get blue are they brighter then?

[bustinthejustin]

...um

Hey there m8

i would recommend you do a transistor mod and pull power from something other than the SMD transistors on the psp unit. i use a PNP TO92 transistor driven direct from the power light smd transistor with a 10ohm resistor from collector to Batt pos.
