Many LEDs, those highly popular Light Emitting Diodes, die prematurely because they are improperly used by people who know little to nothing about electronics. Let's try to stop the massacre. An LED ...

Knowing how to calculate an LED current limiting resistor is one thing, taking into account all other sorts of parameters as well is another. In Part 1 you learned how to calculate a current limiting ...

Infrastructure projects like the Tokyo Gate Bridge are now turning to LED lighting because of its economical and environmental advantages. But these devices still need the right current-limiting ...

One of the questions that hobbyists ask over and over is how to select the value of a current limiting resistor for an LED. Usually the seat of the pants response is: “Subtract 2 V from the supply ...

If you are seeking to get involved in electronics projects or are already doing so, you may still be getting accustomed to certain concepts – including the importance of LED resistors in circuit ...

Every LED has its own characteristics and specifications, depending on the materials used to make them, their colour and many other parameters. As we know the LEDs have a forward voltage, just like ...

Vishay Precision Group launched two new ultra-high-precision Bulk Metal® Z-Foil current sensing resistors designed to improve LED brightness and efficiency in portable battery-powered applications.

Controlling an LED with a Raspberry Pi based on light sensitivity involves using a light-dependent resistor (LDR) or a similar light sensor. You can read the sensor's values and use them to determine ...

I became frustrated at having to repeat the boring work of finding parts and assembling status LED circuits for breadboard development. Most microcontroller projects need several LEDs. These have to ...
