Light-up controller

[vegaslightsss]

Hey guys, I was wondering if anybody has ever wired LEDs in their triggers, bumpers, abxy, and guide buttons on their controller. I've seen how its done but I don't know what size the LEDs are, what size transistor, and what size reisistor. I would have bought a kit but they only work for abxy buttons. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,

check the FW voltage (forward voltage) of your led. If it's 3v or over and you're using a wireless controller, I doubt it will work. (I think the controller can only provide 3v [2 x 1.5v AA batteries]). Wire the LEDs in parralel and you shouldn't get any variance in brightness. You can get away with no resistors but its not recommended...

For ROL use 0603 leds.


For everything else get 5mm LEDs... To verify the exact resitors required use this calculator: http://led.linear1.org/1led.wiz.
