Plastic will not make electrical connection. 4)Yes you can. You got it exactly right. | |
| Sep 17, 2015 at 21:04 | comment | added | Wolf | I just realized you may have misunderstood my idea. I just want to light them all up and that's it. Actually making some crawling motion would be an extra bonus in the future but for now I want something basic. Can't I do it like this? i.imgur.com/muQloHj.jpg | |
| Sep 17, 2015 at 20:28 | comment | added | Wolf | Also, are you recommending me to solder all the elements together (which is what we did in school) or could I use some plastic connector parts? | |
| Sep 17, 2015 at 20:27 | comment | added | Wolf | I don't remember ever testing LEDs in this fashion and I am pretty sure at some point we would have been testing them. Isn't it the rule that the longer of the two leads is the anode (+)? Oh and why do I need the transistor? I thought having the LEDs in series with a resistor for each branch would have been enough. | |
| Sep 17, 2015 at 20:21 | comment | added | Wolf | I should probably point out that I went to a technical high school in Europe and as part of my computer technician education I not only learned circuitry for 3 years but also had over 100 hours of practice actually soldering and doing stuff... And I do have a soldering tool at home and other tools - I am just ashamed to say that it has been over 4 years since then I having not done anything at all with this I have more or less forgotten what I once learned... if they really teach you anything at school to begin with lol | |
