K. RGB LED
The Hyper Red source color devices are made with AlGaInP on GaAs substrate Light
Emitting Diode. The Blue source color devices are made with InGaNLight Emitting Diode.
The Green source color devices are made with InGaN on Sapphire Light Emitting Diode.
Static electricity and surge damage the LEDS.
It is recommended to use a wrist band or anti-electrostatic glove when handling the LEDs.
All devices, equipment and machinery must be electrically grounded.

L. Red, Green, Yellow, Blue LEDs
Light Emitting Diode (LED) LEDs are solid state devices that emit light when electricity
passes through them. They are directional and need to go in the circuit the right way
around.
Once a certain “on” threshold voltage is reached (about 2V for a red LED) the current
through an LED rises very quickly with the voltage. In most applications, a resistor is
needed to protect the LED from being overloaded due to this effect.

N. 220 and 10K Ohm Resistors
Resistors limit the flow of electricity through part of the circuit. This can be used to control
timing circuits, divide voltages in to smaller portions or protect devices that are sensitive
to too much current.
Resistance is measured in Ohms (Ω), kilohms (1,000Ω=1kΩ) or Megohms (1,000,000Ω
=1MΩ) Resistors can go in the circuit either way round.
The value is marked on the device with a color code (see right), or it can be measured
with almost any multimeter.
A shorthand is often used to write the value of a resistor. For example: “100R”=100Ω
“10k”=10kΩ “4k7”=4.7kΩ
Some resistors used in these experiments: 220R – Red, Red, Brown 1k – Brown, Black, Red
10k – Brown, Black, Orange 100k – Brown, Black, Yellow.
Specification:
Resistor color codes:
1st band = 1st number
2nd band = 2nd number
3rd band = 3rd number
4th band = #of zeros/multiplier

5th band = tolerance
Tolerance:
Gold = within 5%
Black: 0
Brown: 1
Red: 2
Orange: 3
Yellow:4
Green: 5
Blue: 6
Violet: 7
Gray: 8
