stringkilla Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Will the cord for the guitar power one LED ?. On a side issue not being electronically minded, can someone suggest a simple circuit for one LED and a battery ? Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmth Builder Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 (edited) No I doubt it, pickups produce very little out put, and LEDs require something like 2V just to work. A circuit could be just a LED connected to a battery (as long as the voltages match) or a switch between them. If you want to use a higher voltage battery you will have to use a resitor between the LED and battery, the value of which will depend on R = V/I (an equation for determing resitance by diving the supply voltage by the current in the circuit) Edited May 3, 2008 by Neil Beith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzar_Guitars Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Here's a link to a site I found that'll help you figure out you LED issues: LED Wizard Hope that helps. Ciao, Garth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringkilla Posted May 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Thank you, the LED wizerd worked out fine. Got a nice schematic and I'm good to go. Thanks again. Killa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
