Which resistor do I use?
« on: March 23, 2008, 11:18:54 PM »
If I plan to use 6 LEDs do i still use 10ohm?

10ohms should be fine, its only a small resistance. If you find ur leds dim tho just solder direct witout the added resistor.

depending on how you wire them if in paralell 10Ohms should be fine. Note i dont think the psp can handle 6 Leds on just the power board. i think four may even be pushing it. But say 4 on the power, 2 on wifi, 4 on speakers so i guess about 10 leds. But mabe more idk.

4 leds will be more than fine. My psp has 8 and i use a resistor and its still bright.
Another spot tho if u want more is two silver contacts below the speakers. it outputs 5v

so you have 8 LEDs connected to your powerboard or do you have 8 LEDs in total?
