Great explenation!
I think I understand it now!  So this is the kit I'll be getting (making 2 kits, one for my friend, one for me): - 10x LED http://be.farnell.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?sku=1212738 - 50x 10Ohm resistors http://be.farnell.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?sku=9341145 - 50x 6.8Ohm resistors http://be.farnell.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?sku=9342206 - 1x Heatshrink http://be.farnell.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?sku=1187634 Will the heatshrink work by putting it around the soldering and than apply heat by a lighter? What we have got allready: Hats: Check Soldering iron and wire (and somebody able to handle it): Check PS3 eye cams: Check IR-filter: Floppy disk and/or photofilm Electric wire: Check But we only will have the same resistor if his adapter is also regulated at 5V output? I'll give the specifications of his adapter later on! Would the resistors need to change if it has a different currentflow than mine? Thanks in advance again! Glad to have so much help  |

I just noticed that I have to buy at least for 50 Euro at Farnell which isn't the case... I started searching for a new website and I also came to conrad! I found the LED, but luckily your here to help and sort out the resistors! Thanks a bunch!  |

I think this will be ok, you will find four flex cable inside good for everything.
Like this:  |
Great! I just cut it up and I do see 4 cables... But still have to remove the outside isolation. I think I'm good to go now! Now it's waiting for delivery  Grtz |

Just to give an update: working will start next thursday
 I'll keep you guys updated if need some help, cheers! Could I just test if the LED's work by connecting 1 LED at one 1,5V battery? Just holding the cables to the poles of the battery? Cheers! |

  It's a highly controversial subject but as long as the employed battery outputs exactly or slightly less than 1.5 V it's all right. To be sure use a voltmeter to verify the real battery voltage. The nominal voltage of a SFH485P LED is 1.5 V and the never exceed voltage is 1.8 V (From Osram/Siemens datasheet). Be careful when connecting the right poles. A LED isn't like a common light bulb. Bottom line: it should be OK, but I hereby declare that I am not accountable for responsibilities arising from misuse that could cause damage or injury to persons or property.  |

So let's say nyes... |

Although nobody demonstrated the obligatoriness of resistors yet; so it sounds as metaphysics to me |

Got scared by the picture there  So maybe I'll just wait best untill thursday untill some help arives Just in case Cheers! |

Ahah, yeah the picture is quite eloquent Follow Sun Tzu's quote: "If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles." In this case, the "enemy" is "issues when assembling your device" and "a hundred of battles" is the "result of your assembly" and "use". I'm not that psychotic, it's just this quote popped out in my mind Cheerio |
