First question :
Can these leds http://www.oznium.com/led (http://www.oznium.com/led) (3mm) be used in modding with psp?i chose colors White blue and aqua
Second question :
What resistors i need for use in modding? http://www.oznium.com/resistors (http://www.oznium.com/resistors) any of these would work? and if not could you tell me where to get the one needed? and tell me the ohms for the colors in first question
Third question :
What kind of wire to use? and any other things for soldering?
Fourth question :
Where to get a faceplate, back plate and buttons for cheaper? i could only find 40$ for case and 10$ for button

First off, welcome to Acidmods! Secondly, try using the search button, quite alot of people have already asked these questions and they may answer yours, if you can't find anything just post back. :)

1. You should use smd 0603 LEDs.
2. If you are using the sound chip from acidmods, you don't need resistors. Otherwise, I believe you need a 191kohm and a 30kohm resistor.
3. Use 30 guage kynar wire. You might want some flux, but that's about it.

so to make it sound sensitive i need audio chip? or is that possible with resistors?
-
Well you can use a specific chip and wire it to the speakers, or you can directly wire the led to the speakers. Direct connection is the easiest.
-
hmm can i get those chips at dealextreme? and how many would i need if i plan to have like 4 leds in the umd door, 8(maybe 10 if i plan to put 2 leds in R and 2 in L) in front of psp and 4 in corners in the back
-
One, and wire the leds in parallel.
-
are there little pins on the audio chip or something to solder the wires to?
-
you get the chip from acidmods.com/shopusa (https://acidmods.com/shopusa) and I'm pretty sure you need to solder through hole. If you buy the lm386 sound chip from radio shack, then yes, theer are little pins to solder to.
-
um i dont think 3mm leds will fit...unless in the umd door area..maybes..but other then that...
-
hmm where can i get cheaper and smaller leds then?
-
mouser.com (http://mouser.com)
-
search 0603 leds on ebay. The best and smallest types for modding.
-
i ordered 2 dif color wires,30 leds, solder (idk if a wireless one is good) the audio chip from radioshack and what is the flux for? can someone explain?
-
Dude be very carefull while soldering your leds since there uber small

Flux helps the solder melt/stick better or something... either way it helps you make better solder joints.
-
i just got the leds...i opened the package...and i was like WTF is that? how im supposed to solder these :D :faint:
-
Method I use by l0rdNic0:

ive seen people make mods where you push note button and the leds turn on and off also with the hold button.how do i do that? and for example other switches in the UMD door for leds...could you explain? and also how do i wire leds to the audio chip lm386?

look at these pages

and if u want hold reactive let me know i can help
-
if i use the audio chip do i need resistors? and do i need like 1 audio chip for a number of leds cuz i wont be ableto solder like 12+ on one or is it posible? :x:
-
LM386 sound chip
Resistors? yes
Sound board from acidmods
Resistors? no. they are included.
You can hook as many leds to the chip as you want. L.E.D.'s don't use much power. If you are going to install leds in high numbers, they will get dimmer.
I installed 8 leds using direct connection They were fairly bright
Look at THIS (https://www.acidmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=22685.new;boardseen#new)
-
hmm so for 8 leds id need one audio chip right? and can i get the right resistors from radioshack? link please if u can find. and how would i solder leds with resistors on?
-
Solder wire to the leds, than solder the resistor to the wire.
I'd suggest you try to use the search button now.
-
anyone can tell me what resistors to buy and how many of them if i want to wire atleast 12 leds (do i need 1 resistor for 1 led?? sry for my noobiness.... and in lordnicos tutorial i saw Ohn resistor...do i need that too? if so where to get and better together with the ohm resistors if possible...and if someone could tell me if there are any resistors to buy in radioshack stores( ohm and ohm resistors.

Depends. If you get the radioshack amp, you need a 191kohm and a 30kohm resistor. That's all. Wire the LEDs in parallel. pretty sure you can get ur resistors off radioshack and if not, go to mouser.com (http://mouser.com).
-
ok. if i get the amp from acidmods shop i wont need any resistors right
-
http://mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?qs=hu0t1s1M%252bIl7h3RqECE5FA%3d%3d
and i cant seem to find 30k ohn resistor...or lordnico made a mistake and put N instead of M so is it possible that its 30k OHM?
-
Yeah he made a mistake... It's actually 30k ohm.
-
do they sell resistors in radioshack shops?
-
which resistors are good for the lm386 audiochip?
30k ohm http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?qs=M6TC5M8vbbUus2URZCk84Q%3d%3d
191k ohm http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?qs=%2f2PJvxaTzm20z3uUy9zhfg%3d%3d
WILL THESE WORK WITH THE LM386 SOUND CHIP FOR THE PSP LED MOD?
