I need the exact spec of smash's led's! I'm 12 short!!

[dubka]

"Frustrating" doesn't begin to describe this one.

And I'm based in London, UK so ordering another bag seems ridiculous...

I'm only after 12 yellow and 12 green.  I figure if I find the right spec I could just pick some up at maplin.

So close to finishing as well.  Gutted...

[Wilba]

I haz spares of SmashTV's yellow and green 3mm LEDs. Buy me a beer, I'll send you 12 of each.

<---- see the beer icon?  ;)

So in other words,

if you help Wilba get drunk, he would practically do anything for you!  ;)

Muhahahahah!

[Wilba]

Actually I'm already too drunk to work out how much 24 LEDs plus postage would cost... just buy me the bloody beer already.

[nILS]

Wilba is kinda hard to get drunk. I tried it with german beer (obviously not hard enough) .

[dubka]

Schooner... obviously...

[Wilba]

Wow! that picture is almost identical to the beer icon you still haven't clicked on!

<---- see the beer icon?  ;)

Wilba scareded me wiv hiz shoutin

so i bawt him a bear  :(

Maybe he looked at the loading icon instead,

and is still waiting for the beer to load.  ;)

LOL!

[dubka]

Oh, I see now...

genius

I can see why now!

Wilbz for all the work you put in you should have accepted it,

i was always planning on donating something all along and this just gave me an excuse to do it!

Ill prolly just stick it in webhosting or development the next time.

[Wilba]

Sorry, I thought you were just having a laugh... ;) I wouldn't knock back a real beer ;)

So...does anyone know the specs? I need to order some LEDs, and all the ones on ebay seem to be SUEPR BRIGHT OMG. What mcd rating should I look for?

Do Smash TV's resistors require resistors on the mb-6582 CS?

Or is the brightness from them just right?

EDIT: I meant LED's LOL

No idea. I'm just now ordering parts for the control surface.

I don't know SmashTV's exact parts, but these are good LEDs for sammichSID etc.

"LED Standard Green Diffused 570nm 20mcd" Mouser: 638-204GD

"LED Standard Hi-Eff Red Diffused 625nm 12.6mcd" Mouser: 638-204ID

Don't be put off by the low mcd rating. These things glow nicely even in a matrix, using standard 220 ohm resistors, they have good diffusion and have the common package like what most 3mm LEDs look like... i.e. just like SmashTV's LEDs.

I have used 1K before with the red ones (TK's MB-6582) but you could use 220 ohm, it will not be too bright. Definitely use 220 ohm for SmashTV's green and yellow LEDs.
