Welcome to AAC!
A thread belongs to the OP (original poster). Trying to take over someone elses thread is called hijacking, which is not allowed at All About Circuits. I have therefore given you a thread of your very own.
In addition, you have practiced the arcane art of necromancy, the revival of a long dead thread. Likely the OP (Original Poster) has solved his problem in the years that has passed, or thrown it away, or something.
This was split from why we use resistor with LED.
I have a similar question. I've been tinkering with an Arduino Uno I'd been given by my structural design teacher. It came with a few circuits to try on the bread board and I went through all of them without difficulty, even if I didn't follow orders exactly. in all circuits dealing with LEDs, the resistor was put between the LED and the ground. The circuit uses 5V LEDs and I don't understand how putting a resistor *after* the LED would assist the LED in any fashion. could someone explain this to me?
