| Jan 26, 2020 at 9:17 | comment | added | Ciribear | Thank you for your reply that makes sense. I think I was getting confused. But in the case of wanting to light a 2nd LED with R2 though you could would just have to make sure the resistors values took enough of the supply voltage on each lane to provide the forward voltage required for each LED though right? | |
