Re: [ModularSynthPanels] tau pipe red/green led wiring?

2008-05-06 by Scott Deyo

Yes, that's the concensus -- a three-wire LED or two LEDs.

I know I'm a bit daft 'n' all that, but do you really need a green LED 
to tell you that the red LED is off?
; p

But there's plenty of panel space for a green one if you need it, want 
it, gotta have it -- blinky lights are one of the best parts of a 
modular.
Because, after mocking like I did... I'll use a three-wire, or drill a 
hole for the green LED!

Cheers,
Scott Deyo
