Hi
I am making a mod for my computer, which uses 10 leds with a Decade counter, which is controlled by my remote.
I am using the 12volt supply with a 9v voltage regulator to power my mod. I am using the proper resistors for all 10 leds using the specs from the data sheets. So that parts fine. But the leds are really dim. So I disconnected the Decade counter and tried powering one of the leds directly to the power source with the proper resistor. It was twice as bright. Is The Decade counter drawing too much current?
Anyone know how I can make my leds brighter?
thanks.
