im going to put some leds in it, because it has this band around it that is made of clear plastic and its like its telling me to put some leds in there hehe... but does anyone know how many volts come from usb ports?
-
5 volts
-
Disk acces led would be nice in a clear USB stick :cool:
-
I did this to one of mine. Swapped the disk access led to red and added a second disk access led. =]
-
yeah i kinda thought it would be 5v... but mine is gona be bright as hell, ill post some before and after pics when i finish it
-
Obviously it's 5v though. All usb ports are 5v...

Not true there are 12v and 24v USB ports used for printers. But you would know if you had one they look funny and are marked
-
psp i didnt know so i asked...
-

but not everyone knows that, again, why he asked
its not necessarily common, everyday knowledge
-
and as I've states there not all 5 volts
-
is amperage going to matter for putting leds in a flash drive? if so how do i find the amperage, i dont have a multimeter
-
would 2 3mm 2ma leds draw too much curent for the flash drive to function? and would it be better to wire them in series or parallel?
-
the worst that will hapen is that the usb port will shut down. then all you have to do is to uninstall your usb drivers and reinstall them. they shut down to prevent damage so not to much risk
-
oh ok gotcha
-
pics of the flash drive?
-
i havent really started it yet ive been really busy but im going to radio shack today, ill have pics up really soon
