im thinking of doing a basic led mod nothing fancy like sr leds or anything, and use wifi switch for on and off im getting a used solder iron not sure what wattage (does it matter?) and solder gonna get 603 leds off ebay and gauge wire , and an other question what does flux do? have i got just about everything??

[MARIOPARTY53]

First, sound reactive L and R on a slim is the easyiet led mod there is

Second to use the wifi switch you will have to do the LM386, and dont recomend this method for a first mod

yeah watt matters it needs to be 15,and if your really good and careful,30
I recomend just buying one for 15$ at radio shack

Also get 0603 leds and make sure the v rateing is at about 5, this way its bright but wont blow out

You need 30 awg Knyar wire

And last flux makes soldering alot easyeir and cleaner. you put a little to where your soldering, it bonds well, comes out good, and makes it easyier to attach solder

[roshurwill14]

so i should get a 15w solder iron, flux and do the sr trigger leds which one should i do the lordnic0 tutorial??

[EliteGamer83]

flux isn't necessary, I don't use it but I hear it's helpful, but it's not something you NEED.

[roshurwill14]

so if i follow lordnic0's tutorial how will i have a on and off switch and also make the led's sound reactive and solid on??

If you follow his tut you will have them on and off by wlan, but they will be only sound active

The voltage rating (V rating) should be about 3... not 5.

[roshurwill14]

so which tutorial shall i follow for a sr leds and solid leds and have a on and off switch as i will need a new ground/ - point if im not using the wifi switch??

[EliteGamer83]

The voltage rating (V rating) should be about 3... not 5.

Most SMD I have are only 2v.

Yeah Rosh, just follow l0rdnico0's tut and you should be fine, the Wiki is gone along time ago but read all the posts on pages 1-3 L0rdNic0 posted all the links again that work.

[roshurwill14]

if i follow lordnic0's tut i can turn them off and on via wifi switch but if i want them and and have sr or solid where abouts do i put a solid/sr switch??

[EliteGamer83]

oOOoo blazinkaos did just this mod a few days/weeks ago.

Try to find his thread it should still be on page 1.

Yeah, red LEDs... Blue, white, etc. are usually 3. Show me a 2v blue led and I will be impressed.

But yeah, blazinkaos' diagram is basically how you wanna do it. You just need to remove the 2nd set of leds. I will try it and show you a diagram if I have time.
