lit dome guide by spurgurgle

and also 1 led wont give a very good light spread..... and if ur thinking of using a uv like u siad above.... well uv purple through a green dome... it dont look good trust me i tried it on a wired pad... cos every uv led i've found needs like 4.7fv and the wireless pads only supply 3.....

Anonamous:
I simply used just one of these and it worked out just perfectly :) Perfect amount of brightness n all. Im extremely happy too because i was able to get the glue just right so its not too stiff or too soft :D

umm u might hav issues with that led adventually look at the forward voltage on it....
--- Quote ---FW current: 20mA; FW supply: 1.9V (typical), 2.4V (max.)

not 1.9 (typical) 2.4 (max...) ur 360 pad will run at 3V on AA batterys and 2.6 on a plug and play battery...... so u will fry that led in time.... not straight away but it will fry...... and being glued in it'll be a :censored: to replace... so i advise putting at least a 10ohm resistor on it to stop the frying!!!!

Anonamous:
ok i will do. The only reason i used them is because my radioshack is gay and doesnt carry everything it should (small store) (They dont even carry an 8 pin IC socket :() so i couldnt find any with the proper voltage. it was either too high or 2 low. They arent actually a :censored: to get out. Its quite easy. Just heat up the hot glue gun and wipe any hot glue dripping from the gun. Stick the metal part onto the glue untill it melts n move it around a bit. then pull on the wires attched to the led and out it comes very easily.

Mrflibbl3s:
hey I did this mod along with the abxy mod and added 4 more led's the voltages are as follows.
CG2 Controller
white 3.0-3.4v
blue 3.0-3.4v
rgb slow rotation 3.0-3.4v [used on dome looks cool]
I attached them all to the breadboard and hooked the breadboard up as you did but when my rumblers kick on everything except the dome flickers to a low light, is it a problem of no resistor? board? or did I just mess up somewhere. currently there are 12 Leds in total, I would post a pic but it's taken apart right now as I'm still tinkering.
I also have A and B remapped to the back of the controller grounding to TP22/TP2
