ante Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Hi alockrem,Welcome to our forum.First; what color are your LEDs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alockrem Posted December 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Thanks for the response.I bought a variety pack from Radio Shack. The color I chose to use was red.I got it working. My problem was the resistor was incorrect. There could have been more than 1 problem, but when I started over again with the correct resistor it worked.I'm hooked now. Unfortunately for you all, that means I will be sticking around and asking a lot more questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ante Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Hi alockrem,Great, it works!The reason I asked about the color was that it might be a blue or a white LED which have a voltage drop higher than your two AA cells can supply. The red LED will have about 2.0 V drop and work fine (with the correct resistor) from your two cells.I am glad you are hooked on electronics now! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
