I'm am very much an amateur and just learned ohms law this weekend when making a 'mod' (not really a mod but I used one of my kids flashing snowflake wands to make a $5 HK flasher).
Pics and a question.
- Pic Snowflake toy I disassembled for the 'mod'
- Pic Dremeled lexan and wired LEDs - used 600ohm resistor to step this down to .02a (20 milliamps - I think I did this right)
- Pic Mod installed (positive lead went to GI, Negative to HK flasher)
Some youtube vids
Question: The mod appears to run throughout the entire game but I think this is due to a 100uf capacitor that was part of the wand. Should I remove that cap? I'm thinking of buying another wand and building a test kit.
If you have any questions let me know!
