Hello everyone, I'm just getting started on my first electronics project and had a few questions. I'm using a Velleman Mk103 sound to light kit and I want to swap out the LED's and have them mounted someplace other than the pcb.
I've done some reading but I want to make sure I have things correct:
1) If I swap out the red LEDs for Blue 3.4v LEDs will I only be able to run 2?
2) If I swap out the LEDs I need to also change the R9 resistor?
3) Whats the easiest way to connect the LEDs but have them mounted separate from the board? I assume cat5 wire would be fine?
4) If I wanted to use this circuit to power 10 LEDs of different colors, I would assume I would also need to increase the power supply- How can I determine the power needs for such a setup?
Thanks for the help!
