Re: Nike Mag V2 mod discussion and builds

Even with my limited knowledge on this stuff, that sounds right to me. The "normal" formula doesn't work, as in when using a 9v battery you would take
[9v battery - (4 x 2v LED)] / .02 = 50 ohm resistor.
(where .02 is the 20mA current)

In Brad's case, he must be using 2.2v LEDs as that in the formula gives you 10 ohm resistors.

Obviously, you can't start that equation with 3v as you get into negative numbers, so that's why I went with the calculator website. The reason 15 ohm sounds right to me is that it's telling me 51 ohm for the same 4 LEDs (in series) with a 9v battery. 3v is 1/3 of 9v, and 15 ohm is about 1/3 of 51 ohm.

That said, I see that if you enter the same info in the parallel section with a 9v battery, it tells you to use a 100 ohm resistor. Heh, just when I thought I was beginning to understand this stuff..... Oh well, surely these calculators know what they're talking about though.

Hi

well i tried the calculators and it says for forward voltage, you use the "Typical forward voltage" and not the "max voltage" of the led.

So if led is 2v to 2.2v, you use 2v as the led forward voltage/voltage drop value.


I'm not sure what leds Jedifyfe has used,

If you put in 9v battery with leds in series,
with 2.2v foward voltage/voltage drop, and 20ma,
it gives you 10 ohm resistor at 1/8W recommended.

The one jedifyfe has used is 10ohm at 1/4W so im guessing slightly larger resistor is probably no major difference.

The bright components leds (yellow,red,green) i was told are 2v typical forward voltage/voltage drop,

If I put these values in to the calculators for 3v Parallel setup im recommended to get:

15 Ohm at 1/8W resistors.

They glow in the dark. You have to charge them with sunlight.

If they glow in the dark, the pair I got must be defective.

So, my order on alibaba.com was "cancelled because of payment verification", but they still took the money out of the bank.

Has anyone had this problem before?

Re: Nike Mag V2 mod discussion and builds

hi, can someone help, i think im getting confused by these online resistor calculators

Tell me about it. I have no idea what I am doing. Luckily resistors are cheap. Lol

Lol take the strap outside in direct sunlight for 5mins then go to the darkest place in your home. I found out when I went out to buy material like the strap then came home and noticed it glows. Not well but it did.

This is really helpful for 9v setups. I saved the picture to my computer.

Not sure about everyone else, but today my shoes from the seller Brad recommended (koko ixe,) shipped! Can't wait to get my hands on them

Does Brad not recommend Karin Chen?!

Yes Mitas, it was the one thing this thread needed, a completed diagram with labeled parts.

I've never ordered from her.

Awesome! Just checked again and mine shipped too. As of a few hours ago they hadn't yet, so thanks for the heads up. Today was still within the original order period too - I never did hit the "extend wait time" button.... although I would have by tonight.

Oh sorry, I thought that's who you order yours from for some reason! Apologies

Does anyone else get "Error" when trying to view your account or your order at AliExpress?

Re: Nike Mag V2 mod discussion and builds

Nevermind, its back online. Does this happen often on their site?

Well I'll be darned!! They glow!!

Yea not the best but they do. I have yeezy 2's and when charged in sunlight they glow amazingly.

What's that supposed to mean? You're the one who made it. I was reposting it in case some people missed it a few pages back.

I see nothing offensive in RobertTX's response. He's just agreeing with you that the diagram is helpful. He's glad you like it.

Re: Nike Mag V2 mod discussion and builds

I was agreeing with you. And explaining why i made it.

Why do you hate me Robert?....WHY?
