I've read up everything I could about calculating resistors, but after entering the calculated resistor values into Livewire.. I get different voltages/currents.
What's going on..
I use the V=IR formula, but I get things like the attachment.
In the attachment, I was attempting to get an LED forward voltage of 1.5v at 30mA.
So R = V/I
R = 1.5/.03
R = 50 (Ohms)
But I get 2.3 volts..
