Thread: Wiring up my reisitors...

    Default Wiring up my reisitors...

    ..And I've got a quick question. So, I went with 1 resistor for each LED on my Tri-Cree. They all called for the same resistor, so I reasoned that it would be cool to go from one positive wire to my three resistors, then out to my parallel wired LEDs. So on both ends, for simplicity, I left my resistors' legs basically in total contact with each other for simplicity. I'm pretty sure that shouldn't bother anything on the side coming from my battery, but is it going to muck anything up going out to my LEDs if all three of my resistors' legs are touching? It won't drive them under powered or anything?

    Positive wire to the three resistors, all joined at *one* end is fine. Then go from each individual resistor to its corresponding LED.

    We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.
