Title: Red Leds Help?
Post by: gx4702 on June 13, 2008, 03:21:19 PM

Hi. Recently i did the trigger mods for the psp...i used a red led and a green led. both leds work (when tested seperately) I.e. with a battery
but when i soldered them to the psp only the red led lights up. (the positive voltage goes through red first then to green)
I tried the other way (Positive voltage goes through green first then red) and Only Green lighted up this time.
[i used a 10ohm resister also]
How can i make Both Green And Red Led Light up at the same time?
(Yes i did use the search button and i couldnt find it)

try not using the resistor if you can risk the leds

what are the specs of your leds

this in wrong section

the leds are 0603 SMT

(i tried not using a resistor - same effect)

well i meant more along the lines of mcd, forward voltage, etc
