GBA LED mod

[joeyjoe9876]

ok well i got 4 LEDs and i feel like modding my gameboy with em.
i have a switch (12 pins [::::::]) and was just wondering how exactly would this work out?
I'm quite new to all this so someone help please lol

[Vort]

Hm, a switch with 12 pins?

Not sure, but if you could find a two-position switch I could help.

[joeyjoe9876]

one with two pins? yeah i got one

[Vort]

Alright, now we're in business.

How good are your soldering skills? ^^

[joeyjoe9876]

good enough, been soldering stuff for about a month now lol

[Vort]

Alright, well if you want to solder in series, that would be simple, but some of the LEDs would be slightly dim.
Or you can solder in parallel which would allow for even distribution of power.
I know you probably already know this but heh.

[joeyjoe9876]

yeah i know haha.
just need to know about the switch stuff haha

[Vort]

K well. Just solder a complete circuit with all the LEDs with the switch in it? Wouldn't it just be that simple?

[Vort]

I've never actually done it. (I have a thread open to show my plans) But I have parts on the way! Ordered last night.

[joeyjoe9876]

yeah I'll mess around with it for a bit and see if i can get it to work lol

[Vort]

Oh, I'm so stupid, I forgot. You know where to solder them on the board right? Make sure you pay attention to the polarity!

[joeyjoe9876]

actually i don't :/

K well, all you do is solder to the BT+ and BT- Terminals. BT+ for Positive, BT- for Negative.

[joeyjoe9876]

yeah i found that out before you posted. actually a few days ago when i was messing with some LEDs i found lol
I'm doing christmas colors kinda.. got two reds and three greens and an orange one lol

[Vort]
