pwm shield

Post by flok »

Hi,

I ordered a couple of these: https://www.adafruit.com/products/1429

Now I am not entirely sure I understood the description so my question is: can I safely light up 24 leds at full brightness (pwm at 4095) for hours?
And the second: do I or don't I need to add extra resistors for each led?

Sure

You don't. Current limiting resistors are built into the board.
