hi.
ive made a circuit which runs a DC motor and powers an LED. there is a switch in series to the motor.
problem;
the led is in parelel to the motor, when the motor is off, the led is on, but when the motor is on the LED is off.
i know why this happens, but is there a way for the LED to be on at the same time as the motor while using the same power sorce?
if i put the LED in series with the motor, will the motor slow down as the current is restricted?
iv'e got a feeling that there is a componant i don't know about.
any advice or suggestion would be welcomed.
thanks
