How to wire a 7 color flashing LED.AVI

[chrisbear08]

Very helpful thanks! I'm making a deadmau5 head and need the lights for the eyes!

[qgproductions64]

I tried with my raidio shack 7 color lights and i gave them 12 vots off an adapter but they just stayed blue and green.!

Can you use a toggle or rocker switch instead of the intermittent switch?

I want this video on my OT-380 phone.

could i just break off the control leg im trying to put this in a xbox 360 controller

[fredkeppler]

I am trying to create a random timer for 6 leds. the LEDs will cycle randomly in time intervals ranging from about 1 second to 10 seconds. This circuit will be used to test reaction time for hockey players. Would you be interested in creating a design for me?

[mattrocks6]

hey is there any way to make them all rotate colors at the same time? because they al seem to have a little different speed in how fast they change.

[askjerry]

@mattrocks6 When you first turn them on, no... each LED has it's own controller and they are all timed differently... not very accurate. However... after that you could connect something like a 555 timer or a microprocessor to supply regular 0v pulses at a fixed rate.

question how would i wire 10 of thes in parallel and still use the momentary switch to rotate the color options please help lol

[askjerry]

@thre11 Just wire them in parallel... all the +, all the -, and all the controls. Be sure to power them with 3.4 volts. If you are using another voltage... then each LED must have it's own resistor.

here in mexico i buyed a little quite big led that has an integrated circuiit in it and 7 colors, first i thought that there was a circuit to make that led function, but when the old man tested it out in front of me i sed oh my fuckin´ god!!!!!! it works by it self!!!!! i buyed it and conected to a voltage out put of my 30w amplificator and it illuminated pretty good. these led´s are much prettyer than the fuking one color led´s

I'm using the 7-colored flashing LED lights I bought from RadioShack and my question is, I'm using a 2 "AA" battery holder. I'm not using a circuit board, so how can I make it work? Please help asap! Thank youuuuuuuuu

[askjerry]

@ninjanguyenx3 the LED is designed to run on 3.4 volts... a single AA non-rechargable battery is 1.5 volts... so 2 of them is 3 volts. That should be enough. Connect the + to the VCC, the - to the ground, and connect a switch between the control and the -

@guidoco21

wats that board thing which holds ur leds

[AJshow907]

is it posible to just make it fade to different colors and still going w/o it turning off plz reply

[berkelusa]

are the 7 color LED's 12-Volt? I didn't see any resistors like the norm.. and they are usually what.. 3.6 volts MAX? I want to hook these up in a Car's gauges.. Thanks! -Rob

[TheDowers2]

can i get the volts and the mA or a good resistor for this LED ????

[daveydave400]

Thank you so much for this. No thanks to Radioshack for providing no documentation at all, at least from what I could find. Great video, but how do you get the flashing mode that the package says is supposed to be possible?

[kikoman1998]

for example if you wanna wire it up to the 360 controller can you connect the controll to the sync button.

[silverpizza100]

your knuckles, you must have bad arthritus<<But good video, anyway to program the light/? So it can change to the color I want ? Will an OP chip work? Any help would be awesome.

[halklin]

I have the exact same 7-color Blinking LED, that is in the video. On the back it says Single Color, Color-Changing, or Flashing Modes. The video shows how to get single and Color-Changing, but how do I get Color Flahing???

[Lamanthonyt]

Check your inbox! I sent you a message asking for help because Youtube wouldn't let me send you a website link where I uploaded a picture of my circuit. I really need help on wiring two in a series. It would help us all if you explained how you wired the four LEDs in a series!

[oldredneckranger90]

How can you get the led to cycle all colors after powerup? is there a simple circuit for that?

[guidoco21]

@oldredneckranger90

The only way I know to get it to cycle all colors is to go through each color until you get to the last setting with all colors.

[oldredneckranger90]

@guidoco21 ok thanks... im replacing the back light of the meter on my cobra 29 cb radio and i want to be able to set the mode to whatever i want without it resetting it every time. I know i can tie the constant power going to the power switch to the led but the led will stay on constantly. I really don't know much about these new leds right now i have a reg. blue led. Do you know the power specs for these leds? radio shack did not specify this information

[oldredneckranger90]

@guidoco21 ok thanks, do you if there is a led with just the color cycles

[HaxAras]

Thanks! Im Modding My 360 Hard Drive Im Going to Add a couple of those led's and a momentary push button

[Bakinskiy]

okay i got that part so how about wiring Led's with out resistor and wiring with resistors what is the different?? what does resistor stand for in land led ??

[Bakinskiy]

what are the jumpers for are they called resistors???

[guidoco21]

@Bakinskiy

No, the jumpers are just to make connections on the yellow board called a Breadboard. When testing circuits you can plug LED's, resistors, most any electronic component into the holes in the board then use jumpers to connect one component to another where you would probably solder a wire to make the connection on the finished project.

[badguitarp]

heey, i just bhought some 3 LED leg light, but i only got wire for positive and negative, what wire do i need for control and where i am supposed to connect it on?

i only worked with 2 leg LED's so this is kinda new for me.

[guidoco21]

@badguitarp

Go forward in the video to 1:33 you can see a drawing explaining what each leg is and the rest of the video explains how to use them.

[keanubb]

Not exactly what I was looking for, but the completeness and demonstration is absolutely paramount. Fantastic video very thorough.
