  • @DarthMufin - I submit, I am not dorky enough to compete with you. Of course you do have a star wars refrence for your name, so.....that's original.

  • Changing the cap and resistors give a mix of results. I got an old radio shack eletronic science kit with different resistors and capacitors. It makes it easy to try different things. I got it on line for like 5 bucks.

  • I haven't used SMD, but I think it's pretty transferable.

  • Which side of the capacitor do we attach to which pin? The anode goes where and the cathode goes on what pin?

  • is 4.7 Yellow, Purple, Red? or Y,P,Orange?

  • nice man very nice

  • @Nadrealis Cathode (-) goes to pin 1 (ground) and anode (+) goes to pin 2

  • You dont understand electronics. Useless video. Half the connections you make are pointless. Ill make a video that explains things without the fucking gay ass music!

  • I used some different risistors and all I got is a sold dim LED. WTF? I just created the most complicated LED on Earth! HELP!

  • @Nadrealis Look at the schematic for the 100uF cap!

  • I would think it's a 100 microfarad capacitor but I'm not sure.

  • What kind of capacitor? I want to build this but I'm not sure what type of capacitor to buy.

  • This was awesome I'm going to build it
