Hi all
I am building the artificial star project that Barry Waters kindly posted but with plumbing pipe instead of board.
So after a trip to Bunnings I got some pipe and fittings and sprayed them with blackboard paint.
I then got the fibre to attach to this.
My problem is when I went to the local electronics store to get the LED and battery pack. I was told by staff that I would need to put a resistor or capacitor in between them.
Can someone that has some electronics expertise tell me if this is correct?
I would not know I thought that I could just attach the LED to the wires coming from the battery pack.
I have attached some photos of the pipe. I went for pipe as I could house the parts inside and easy access to them
Cheers
Ian
