Hello, this is my first post.
I am getting into using LEDs for some automotive work and just would like some help in regards to it.
Basically what I am asking is what are the basic tools I need ie: soilder iron, leds, resistors, panels, etc..
and any good way to wire it all up.
I have some more questions, but they seem to skip my mind! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ohgeez.gif

Well I have a few idea's up my sleve but am trying to figure out some things about LEDs.
I've found howstuffworks.com and their info on LED's but I need some additional information to that.
First off what do I need to make one work?
Battery, resistor, panel, LED, etc...?
Plus the different sizes, So far I have found 3mm and 5mm and some 15mm and 20mm ones on the internet I can order.
I guess what I am really asking is how do I get multiple ones to light up, and change their amount of brightness, ie: a low just on color and when something touches the sensor it brightens, etc...
Thanks in Advance!!!
