I'm gonna start with a USB 3-point LED system, following the 'series build' schematic posted by benmeijer (I know it's only a little picture, but it sounds cooler when I say 'schematic' ), leaving out the PCT fuse and just using a USB power adapter to power it. I've got nearly all my parts, i'm just waiting on the SFH485p LED's that I ordered on ebay (should be arriving early next week). My (rather simple) question is: What side do you guys (that have built clip-on tracking systems) have the tracking system on? As in, do you have it on the same side as you microphone, so everything is on one side, or the opposite side to the microphone? Just looking for any advice before I start putting it together and realise I can't change what side it goes on. Thanks! p.s Oh, and I'll definitely post some pictures of my system when i'm finished. I can't wait to get started!

So the model doesn't need to be the exact size, but you must be exact what you fill in.
