Title: How And Where To Wire Up Leds?
Post by: Chimp5000 on May 05, 2008, 11:38:00 PM

Hey guys.  I am really interested in wiring up some Leds to my newly modded Xbox 360.  However, I am not sure on how to wire them up, or a spot on the motherboard to wire them to.

From what I read using google:

There are a few ways to do.

1st way, wire an individual resistor to each Led that is powerful enough for each Led.

e.x. - I have 10 Leds, each Led requires a 10k resistor, so I get 10 10k resistors? (does that even sound right as an example (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) )

2nd way, wire 1 resistor to the entire set of Leds, however, it most be powerful enough to cover each of the Leds.

Any help on the subject is greatly appreciated.  I have a radioshack less then a 5min walk from my house.  I plan on using Red Leds.  If there is a tutorial or something I can follow, that'd be great.  Thanx for the help!
