IR and red LED's operate near 2.0 volts, as you go up the rainbow, the operating voltages get higher. White and blue LED's are similar, typically around 3.0-3.3 volts. A white LED will not light at all on 1.0 volts, I can assure you of that.
Yikes! This is getting more complicated than I expected. The LED is “Golden White” according to the manual… do I consider that white as far as the resistor value is concerned?
There is only one board and it is 16 pin. The manual has a key that gives the function of each of the pins. Pin 6 is the front light and pin 7 is the light common. Would I put a white LED value (what is that value?) resistor connecting 6 & 7 to make the conversion? It would be nice if it were that simple.
There is also a motor L, motor R and a pickup L, pickup R. Anyone have a guess about hot wiring them – pickup L to motor L and same for right – to accomplish the DC conversion? Basically, I’d be making my own DC shorting plug. This sounds too easy so it can’t be true.
This is getting interesting,
