Ok, I have questions about wiring the accent LEDs on the Prizm V4 soundboard. The manual does not tell me how to do it. I know that the LED positive wires go to the numbered pads with holes and the negative wires go to the ground, but; Do the two pads next to each LED positive need to be bridged? How do I know if I need to add a resistor? What kind of wrapping wire should I use to make a bridge? Please help me.

Do the two pads next to each LED positive need to be bridged?
If you are attaching an LED, yes. Either with solder or a resistor.


How do I know if I need to add a resistor?
Math. Ohm's Law, same as your main LED. (hint: you almost certainly need a resistor)


What kind of wrapping wire should I use to make a bridge?
Wrapping wire is a specific thing, it's a stiff wire that can be bent and holds its shape. It doesn't have to be wrapping wire, wrapping wire is just convenient for this purpose because it holds its shape.
