opened up numbers last night to do resistor math and just threw it up on a section of the sheet that was already open, which is just scribbles of my nefarious plans

no you're right, power through a resistor P=V^2/R so smaller R means higher power

The board maxes out at 12 volts, and they're supposed use like a 2 kilo-ohm resistor. Was probably just old or slightly broken

yeah that's only 1.6W, that eeistor should be good to a couple watts I'm guessing? check the power rating but also might be a defective resistor

It turns out a 10 ohm resistor has trouble with 4 volts, which feels a bit weird

@hulcricket.bsky.social This week was the first labs with breadboard, and already had a group blow a resistor, making it smoke haha. Was kind of impressive

Dang, these LEDs are bright. I even knew the new LEDs are brighter than what we had in my undergrad days and _thought_ I put a big enough resistor. Obviously not.

The same circuit board as before, but with a USB-C cable plugged in on the left (USB-A) port. A red LED in the bottom left corner is shining brightly and overloading my phone's camera, spraying errant rays elsewhere.
