Make: Online : The LED center

The LED center

John writes "Heres' a great resource on LED products, but more importantly some of the best information on using LEDs in your own projects. Most useful are the LED calculator and the LED series/parallel array wizard for calculating resistor values for your LED applications. It even gives you the appropriate resistor color code. Talk about service!" Link.

Wow.... I think I'll bookmark that one.... I'm not an electrician nor an engineer of any kind (I program), but I was thinking about a cool LED project. Go figure how I would manage that without experience. I think with this site, I would be able to dive into electronics step by step and accomplish a simple project. See how it goes and maybe one day I'll be able to make a cool LED wall.
