Bright LEDs and the gated comparator

Bright LEDs and the gated comparator

2004-03-03 by peng3002

I built the Gated comparator with bright blue LEDs. Real bright, they
make spots before my eyes ! On other modules I simply tie a 39K
resistor to the LED and it dims nicely. The G. Comp is different in
that there is the output jacks connected with the LED. Will tying
this extra resistor on influence the signal at the out jacks.

Help needed desparately to stem off blindness !!!!!!!

Thanks,
Peng

Increase the value of the 1k between 0V and the LED to 10k.
