Title: Led Wiring Help + 2 more questions sorry
Post by: The.VeRaK on February 28, 2009, 11:45:57 PM

For my project i have 12 leds in total
2 in start, select
4 in d-pad
4 in a,b,x,y
2 in Power, Volume :faint:
What I was wondering is, if i could join them all together "+ to - to + to - etc.." and put them on the gba slot?
if not where should i wire them to?
I aslo have 2 more leds in the triggers but i got them wired else where, i got that tut from n-mod.com

Well what i was really wanting to know is will they all light up ok? and would i need any Resistors?
And two more questions :( sorry
