HELP LED Wiring CG

[konnorrigby]

Ok, so i am a noob here. Iv'e used the tutorials a lot but haven't posted much.

Anyways, i i would like to know how to use two separate LED's rather than player 3 and 4 LED's for the T0pFire mod. i have two and i know where i want them. but i don't know how to wire them or what resistance they need...

my controller is a wireless CG. and again it is the T0PFire mod. thanks in advance..

the top fire chip will supply your positive leed for the new led, the negative for the led can come from any ground point, I would say use the battery ground.

as for resistance, the chips output V is the same as its input so use 3V for supply and look up a led resistor calculator to find what resistor you need.

Thanks guys. i git two leds from radio shack, and the one hundred ohm resistor worked perfectly  first mod going well so far.

Yea like matt said wire the TF to the positive and the neg. to a ground and it should work.  Wouldn't see why not . GL with this mod tho.

radioshack doesent have 0603 smd surface mount leds? 

your radioshack is awesome if it has that, wish mine did.

what do you think SMD stnads for?

Ok so i got it so far..... but now i have another question..... 

I am going to light the buttons on my controller, but... ready for this... on two different batteries replacing the rumblers. im putting a switch  for them and going to charge them via usb. should i run them in parralell or what?? thanks.

Run them in parallel, see my post in this forum for an idea on how to wire it up.

Ok. thanks.  it will be a little wile before i get the money to buy the things... but it should be awseome when i do.

Surely you can afford THIS?

That would give you everything you need for this mod.
