Thought
I would start a thread to help others out If you have any tips, help. advice then post here for all to benifit. LDR's ( Light Dependent Resistors ) No matter how simple it may be to you it may be a god send to others so here is my first tip on LED'S ( Light Emitting Diode ) Be aware there is 2.5v, 5v & 12v LED'S possable even more.You want the 2.5v with a 47ohm resister How do you know what colour the LED is ( trust Me bought some other day and all of them were clear ) also do a test on coloured ones and even if you have cut the legs off to the same length. A simple test is put your multimeter on DIODE test ( this should be your first item to buy in electronics 2nd soldering iron ) Ok check out pic below :
hope this helps out
now go and set up your Ultimate racer 30 on your PC. . . have fun
