Re: LED polarity

2008-06-09 by boops.secretvibes

hi,i am buiding a p3 too!!

read this:in the section diy P3 web site version 4

The process I use for fitting the LEDs to the correct height is the
same as for the Function switch board. I put the LEDs loosely into
their holes, making sure to observe the correct orientation, then fit
the board to the panel, and feed the LEDs into the panel holes so they
are all at an even height.
N.B.These Tri-colour LEDs have 2 anodes and a common cathode. The
anode for the RED LED has a right-angle at the top of the component
leg. The GREEN LED has a 45 degree angle at the top of the leg. The
RED anode should go toward to top of the board, and the GREEN anode in
the hole with the square around it on the component overlay.
Here's the board with the LEDs just sitting in place - not soldered !

good luck Boops
