Blue LED's

Blue LED's

2002-06-03 by erik_magrini@Baxter.com

Ohhhh!!!!!   Good idea!  The blue LED's would f*cking rock!  If it was 
only $100, I'd have mine done already, sadly I think it'll be closer to 
double that!!

And to top it off I would replace the little red LED's in the quick 
edit section with nice new blue ones!



Hmmmmmm lest see 30 hours of work and about 100.00 in cost not about 
to happen i personaly dont mind the yellow to much it is easy to see 
in the dark :)

I thought that the red (this is only on the XX-7's, not all LEDs) comes 
from plastic lenses they put in the case, not the lights themselves.  Are 
the lights colored?  If not, there's a ton of ways you could make those 
light up blue for cheap.  I might do this even if I don't paint my case!

The LEDs themselves are cheap. The problem is powering them. It 
depends how the circut is set up. If it is just a straight voltage 
powering the LEDs (as opposed to current control) there will be a 
problem. Blue LEDs need more voltage to light up. If the scheme is 
current control (I might be able to tell if they used one of the 
standard chips for this application) the LEDs should just plug in.

The LED's in the machine actually look like little resistors soldered to the board. This might prove to be expensive... or not. We'd just have to actually FIND one that was that color. Maybe EMU should do a special edition MPXL7 with a completely different paint job and 2 chip slots filled. If they would have had one of those available for $1200 when I got mine, I would have snagged it!!

The current LED's on the board, though look a lot like little flat resistors. . .
Are these available in blue? maybe I'll run a multimeter through them to see what the voltage is.
EMU's gonna kill me.
