Guide to connect resistors!

[Willhob]

Hi,

I would like to ask you some suggestion in connecting the resistors I bhought for the MG fine red led and the yellow light of a Tiger Tank. (as suggested in the Welsh dragon shop).

I don't have any experience in electronics stuffs and I don't want to burn them before mounting!!

thanks as always,

Gianfrranco.

The RX18 output to the machine gun and headlight aleady have resistors in them so you should connect to them supplies i.e. swap over HL LED to your bought ones.

I will try.

If you don't know the LED will only light up if the polerity isn't correct, don't worry it won't break if you get it wrong just won't light up.

If it helps the heng long electronics have a common positive shared between the headlights and machine gun and it switches in the negative.

Hi Ian ,

For my 'junior electronic' understanding, the red wire is the positive? Or in the other way around ??

Mai I check with ac/dc adaptor setup on 7.2 volt if the light and the mg work??
Thanks in advance x your reply.

Generally red is positive and black negative, but HL tend to have a habit of using both for each just to confuse everyone.

In the hull top you see a small square PCB for the headlights an machine gun LEDs on all my tanks the middle wire on that is positive.

Hope that helps.
