LED, Ya you know me

A project log for IR Raspberry Pi Goggles

Using a Raspberry pi b+, a pi-noir cam, a bunch of IR LEDs and a 7" LCD to make a pair of IR goggles. Perfect for night vision...

Project Log 0002

Hours of researching the best way to wire up my IR LEDs. Seems like parallel is best. But Ive never used a breadboard and mucked it all up somehow.

My resistor value is correct I think:

V=9

I=100

R=10 (with voltage drop of 1.5V over 9 LEDs)

Nothing happened, used my handy multimeter to check power was coming in.

Somehow fried 8 LEDs!!!! oh the humanity!!.....unless they never worked, but I got them from Adafruit so Im sure they were legit.

I'll have to begin with a fresh brain tomorrow and just wine about it tonight.
