Post Moonlight schematic for Bobby

Okay using a 5.2vDC @ 800ma to drive 10 LED's here's your wiring diagram.
You'll need 1/4W 68 ohm resistors for each LED.

Just for good measure some detailed info
  • each 68 ohm resistor dissipates 61.2 mW
  • 1/4W resistors are fine for your application
  • together, all resistors dissipate 612 mW
  • together, the diodes dissipate 990 mW
  • total power dissipated by the array is 1602 mW
  • the array draws current of 300 mA from the source.
