Re: [OTish] Electronics (for HA)

A fine explaination again!

Now I understand. At the risk of getting on your nerves, I've also 
got some LEDs that I can't get to work :( 

(Maplin part no UK48 5mm 2ma) 

As you may know I've been messing with the Basic Stamp and I've gone 
through the book they supply with a kit. I thought I was doing quite 
well.. which is why I started ordering bits.. the LEDs was one of hte 
parts I went for... 

My thinking was :

+ve --- 220 Ohm Resistor---LED --- +ve 

which is the sort of layout I was doing with things from the book... 
as you have probably already guessed the LED does not light.. :(

I've swapped the 'direction' of the LED legs and nothing's changed..
