Flashing RGB LED Crimp Together Project

[1point61803]

I'm guessing there's a microcontroller embedded within the LED itself?

That's a really good video. I've seen prewired ones on ebay with small resistors already included under the heat shrink. As for those asking about crimp vs. solder. This video is meant to be for complete newbies and I think they're going to find crimping cheaper (just use a pair of home pliers) and easier than soldering!

can you control what color the LED lights? btw, use a breadboard or soider instead of those crimps, how the hell u gonna get them off

[Nowitzki410]

can i sak you something? if i conect like 10 of this in pararel to the same battery, they will react equal? i mean, they will change color at the same time to the same color?

What is the rating on the resistor??

@azsunman

Click on the second link in the video description. It has the value and a link to the resistor.

@azsunman

470 ohm Resistor

instead of a 9 volt you can use a 3 volt without the resistor and it is much easier

[abbtech]

@TheTommer777

That should work fine.

[chilidress]

if i want to change the led's colour with a switch ?

[TheTommer777]

@chilidress i think that you cant because their already like that

[TheTommer777]

@chilidress or you can use a dimmer or something similar that changes the voltage so it varies the color ;)

no solder OUU thank you if someone sold something i ccan't understand anything

[slipknot9651]

anyone know how many can be ran off of one 9 volt battery or how i would get them to run off a car battery?

[hellterminator]

Man, soldering is so much easier, faster and more reliable than this crimp crap…

[taterofthecouch]

have you ever heard of solder before? why would you wanna use those crimp things?

[Imprezaowner27]

@taterofthecouch Have you ever seen a 10 year old work a soldering iron? yeah, thats why, this is simple enough to start teaching young kids how to work with electronics.

love it. can get some of these running to confuse buglars. 5 stars

[mogankingstar]

good..thanks
