5V for LEDs #72

Closed TigerClaw33 closed 5 years ago

TigerClaw33 commented 5 years ago

Hi, I have 3 LED modules rated for 5V which I use for normal Gameboy mods. First is it possible to connect them to 5V on sword? where can I connect this to the sword exactly ?

If you look on the bottom of the board you have a number of labelled solder holes. There is 5v there :) if possible i'd recommend using 3.3v as there is another set of holes near the bottom by the audio IC (labelled 3.3v and GND)

EDIT: Take a look here, the 'voltage test points' can be used: https://github.com/kiteretro/Circuit-Sword/wiki/Circuit-Sword-Original-V1.1E#top

The LEDs are small specific design so I will not be able to change the voltage from 5V to 3.3V ;)
