Default Re: Where I'm at with my build!

If it helps you feel better, Clint, I like the paint scheme just as it turned out. I think the orange would have clashed just a little to much! I would not be disappointed with the current colors!

On your LEDs, what is most important to figuring out what kind of resistors you need, is the forward current rating of all the LEDs. Typically this is around 20 mili-amps, but if you have a spec sheet, double check it to be sure.

A 2S LiPo pack is going to be 7.4 volts, not 7.2. A fully charged LiPo will probably be even higher, right off the charger. It's not critical, but important, because you don't want to burn out your LEDs.

Plug your specs into the above calculator, and it will give you what you need to wire them all up. It tells you the resistors needed, and shows a schematic to help you figure out how to wire them. Pretty straight forward stuff. Hope it helps.
