So.. i know im not the only one or maybe i am but i was thinking if anyone else wanted to help out and make a quick chart on here for myself if not for anyone else on the "limits" of each LED or like an easier way to do a setup. instead of the common refer to the resistor chart or wiring diagram bf28 etc an idiots guide if you will. you could just refer to this thread or a thread that quickly shows you, such as
Red P4 + 4AA's +1000ma buck no resister = Works
Lux3 Blue +4AA's no resistor = no work
RGB Rebel + whatever = whatever
so on and so on? i dunno when im doing a saber and i want it overdriven looking at the resistor chart just doesnt help me. or lets say i tell my friend <insert random name> about making a saber and they just want to snapsnapsnap one together just to have one, Tim's made it very easy with the MWS now and im so happy for that. but then they say to themselves do i really need to resist it? sure there is trial and error i spose, and yes there are tons of ways to search or even ask, but if someone cant find the answer they're looking for on here and then they ask, there's usually some elitest that jumps in and just makes the person feel pretty crappy about the question they asked or makes them angry lol i've seen both here, and maybe its just me but are we not all here to help and for help? i dont know maybe i'm crazy for suggesting this who knows but surely im not the only one that feels this way? or would like to see something like that? heck i'd even take a chart i could print and keep by my lil desk that says hey man, if you forget to add that resistor in like you're supposed to you're going to pop that LED you just ordered, or hey did you know instead of using 4AA's you could use 1 (insert battery here) and get the same result? so on and so on.
Thanks for reading my crazyness.
