Rostock V2 LED Add-on

Post by gajtguy »

So I got really tired of holding the flashlight to see what was going on. The LED upgrade became a priority. As it happens, I was also way behind playing with my NetDuino kit. So I combined the activitied of testing LED brightness and wiring (Never did it before) on the Breadboard that came with my NetDuino kit. Tried three Super Bright White LED's in series with a couple different resistor values (resistor values were swapped out at different times). Then I soldered the LED Ring and soldered up the LED circuit. After running out to get some slightly longer screws for the Hot End, it was just a matter of installation.

Sorry, I can not find the actual link to this file on Thingiverse.

For the LED circuit and help for the resistor value, I used: Multiple LEDS or Single LED
