Just got a quick couple of questions about wiring with some 'high end' parts.
Please bear with me a little, all the electronics I learned in school was mechanical and based on the properties of materials, rather than practical circuit building, thus I may sound like an idiot more times than some can bear through this thread :>.
when wiring a tri-cree to a CF board with a CeX, am I right in thinking the LEDs do not share the same ground? I'm sure everyone and their mums doesn't want 6 wires coming down from the LED fixture, but if it's unavoidable it's ok!
when wiring a RICE port, can the 'negative to battery' attach anywhere along the -ve line (for instance the -ve to board on the recharge port)?
will a 20mA LED require a resistor if it's wired into an accent LED position on the board? I've read that the maximum amperage over these spots is 18mA, but the voltage (3.3) is considerably higher than the recommended Vf of the LED (2.0). I calculated the required resistor to be between 73 and 65 ohms, but I'm not sure which way I should be biased (max LED output or max board output).
What are JST connectors called in England?
How stoked are you all for CF8.0!?!?!?!
[EDIT]
just found a swish little circuit diagram program, if anyone wants to criticise my present understanding it's all just there vvv
