LEDs draining power
« on: July 23, 2009, 08:34:14 PM »
I've connected LED's across the speaker terminals on a keyboard, when I turn up the volume too much it dies and needs resetting, do I need to install a resistor somewhere?

try hooking the positive to the speaker and the negative to the battery terminal's and not the speakers
