Self Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) How to Install a single LED into each one of the control ports. Enjoy! Edited July 28, 2017 by Self Wrong video. Lolol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave C. Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 This is an awesome video! My only advice is to plug the unit in to power and test the LED's before you tie it all up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thePiratePimp Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 (edited) 1st things first...thanks for the tut! I've been reading around and found that another way that will help to save some time, is to buy some prewired LEDs off of eBay seem like a good way to go, esp if someone is planning to sell them. Time vs money. Edited August 20, 2017 by thePiratePimp forgot to add a picture. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave C. Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 That is a great idea. Do you think something like these are the right spec? http://www.ebay.com/itm/20-x-Pre-wired-6v-3mm-Red-LEDs-Prewired-6-volt-DC-LED-Light-RC-Prop-5v-4v-3v-/151052045237?epid=1147035193&hash=item232b674bb5:g:qcYAAOxyY3ZRoYb3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGXbox Admin Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 They are not the right spec as they are for 6v and you'll be hooking them up to 12v. So, you'll have to wire 2 in series to make it work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big F Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 There are quite a few resistor calculators on the internet so, you can work out what resistor you need to add to the LEDs you buy. They can have different voltage tolerances depending on output and size etc. In some cases just adding all four of the ports in series can drop the volts enough not to need resistors.

Just want to verify so I do the calculations properly and get the correct resistors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big F Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) They are 5v but I guess you could also wire them up to a 12v source instead like the one supplying the HD.

Or did you guys buy any on ebay? Just seeing whats possible since my soldering is a bit on the weak side and the less I have to do the better!! Thanks !!

Welshtourist Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) Any benefits to using the flat square led's over round ones, haven't seen a comparison yet, can see they are smaller and maybe a better fit size wise but are they as bright ?

everton.k12hiper Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 I used 5mm led and 100 omhs resistor and did not have any kind of error worked perfectly just be careful when soldering and do not let any metal part touch the metal cover of the doors that works quiet.Enviado de meu SM-G903M usando o Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
