I wired some leds on my casing ,
I tryed this Method by JEEP

Connected it FINE..........
just doesn't work AT all...

i put only 4 leds , with 2 resistors

like he told me to do...

I don't know why im thinking i don't have ENOUGH voltage.....

I tryed on a 9V the lights come on but still are LOW.

Imagine that nes connection listed on the drawing is supposed to give me 5 V.................... for 4 leds + 2 resistors...... geez...
I don't think im gonna see light in Months

anyone know how do do it?

PS: keep in mind those are the same leds i used in my dreamcast

which i connected to 12V in order for them to work...
& now it's BRIGHT AS crazy!

how can i plug them to NES?
i put 2 resistors so i shall be more than fine.

I think your problem lies here

It shows the positive end of one led touching the negative end of another. You don't want that. Instead of that tie the positive leads together and then wire the negative leads together. I think that should do the trick.

Easiest way, 2 resisters, two leds, removes the thinking involved.

Code: Select all

+5 -------/\/\/----[LED] ------ gnd
       L--/\/\/----[LED] ---l

what i did PLUG it to the 12v

works like a charm

like i said to the other guy before
I think im getting TOO LOW current...

if you go by the logic....

not working on 5v, works little on 9v battery..... what does it say

needs more Voltage ^^ hehe

thanks all!!!
for help!!

appreciate it!
