    Voltage typically varies by the color of the LED. Reds and ambers are lower (around 2.1 - 2.3) where Blues and Greens are in the 3.2 - 3.4 range. That should do nicely for you, or you could visit your local Radio Shack If you live in the United States.
    Lol yes i just found that too thats what i will get Thanks! What resistor will work 82 or 270? 1/4 from tcss

    And Fixed!

    From what I can see 66.6... ohm, but the store only carries 82, so yeah.

    BTW, formula: (Source voltage - Forward voltage) / Current = Resistor. So (3.3 (from the accent pad) - 2.1) / 0.018 (18mA, the max of the accent pads) = 66.6... ohms.

    And the lazy way = http://led.linear1.org/1led.wiz

    I'll spare you redoing the math (this once). You need a 82 ohm 1/4 watt resistor.

    To my understanding the led will flicker when ideling and clashing and in lockup?

    As long as you configure it that way.

    now how do i do that xP its the chip that does it using the txt files or is it a physical wiring concept?

    Edit: Is this with a clash sensor, iv got no clue what to do with this in my diagram. I have noticed that madcow has been able to hookup a PLI unit to his sabers, how is this possible? Even though the PLI isnt in stock i would one day like to upgrade this saber with rice, foc, pli and whatever sound founts i want at the moment from saber fonts . xD you can totally tell I'm a noob at this.

    Yeah, I got the noob part figured out already. Which Madcow saber are you talking about?

    First things first. Download the PC 2.0 manual, and read it over - several times. It basically explains all the configuration settings, and how to wire it up, etc. etc. As for the PLI, you may want to save that for down the road. One of the biggest mistakes noobs tend to make is to try to run before they can even walk.
