nice mod rclxms.gif .


Added on November 5, 2009, 11:51 amNew update

LPT port now can follow the song using winamp



All u need to do is :

: Winamp plugin :
http://www.winamp.com/plugin/leds-flashing-machine/85973 <--download this plugin.

Then extract to your winamp plugin folder.

Right click on winamp icon and click properties.

Click compatibility tab and choose compatibility mode to windows 98/ME or windows 95. Then apply.

Execute winamp and find preference for this player (usually right click on the player) and check out plugin >visualization

U should see 'LED flashing'.Click on it and u can choose 3 type of flashing (i prefer on Boom indicator,other than that are useless).Choose boom and click start.

Play some song and check it ur LED and it should work icon_rolleyes.gif . If u want to change on music or pitch indicator, click stop first then click start again.

P/s-- Better u close LLE application first before doing this thing biggrin.gif .

Good luck.

Typical LED forward bias current varies from 5mA to 20mA.

For this low power application, why not use a common resistor to ground instead of 8 resistors?
