LED

Post by docmccarthy »

What is the best type of LED to use with the MiniPOV3? And, do you have a Mouser catalogue number? Thanks,
Tom

When I ordered, the kit came with clear LEDs, but I think many people prefer diffused, so something like this would be great:

This particular LED only emits a light intensity of about 50mcd. Ladyada was recommending about 400mcd. What do you think? Thanks,
Tom

Sure, you could go higher if you want. It'll be brighter, but if you don't get a diffused kind, then you will only be able to see it at that brightness looking straight on.
