@i2c_jason: Let’s design an LED into a circuit with proper current limiting. This is one step on the path to developing your own valuable electronics skills. Don’t be scared of the math, it’s usually very simple. #learn #electronics #project #DIY #engineering #career #led
After the KiCAD video, a lot of people messaged me asking about where to learn this skill set. I suggest Phil’s lab on YouTube but also why not my channel? I’ll add in a bunch of this content to help you guys out.

how do i get a job doing this?

Blown away that people don’t consider 270ohms as a standard value 🤣

esp32 can sink more than it can source so putting the resistor at 3.3 and the diode's cathode on the output pin will let you light that LED so you could actually see it!

thanks but as EE I prefer to work on radars and military programs

Make a video about checking how much current your microcontroller can source or sink through various I/Os to make sure you have enough current to light that LED. And if not then what can you add to get the current you need.

RootRevolution :
Why not go with two resistors in series to get closer to the value you want. Or get the bigger bucks for making custom value resistors!

use 300 to 470 ohms. when you have the brightness you want then use that. usually 330 ohms is fine.

Amazing, I clearly understood exactly what you were explaining.

Also you can combine resisters to get your desired resistance.

The 5% resistors are 240, 270, 300,... so you could have picked up 270.

Or just add 1k resistor

if you don't have the datasheet, how you find the voltage drop and current of a led?

Oddly, I had the formula before you wrote it down and understand the words coming out of your mouth!

I understood everything clearly what you just said. I wish we had teachers like you when I was in school.😢

you make 150 bucks an hour for that? I do it for my company for 75k a year.

560 // 560 = 230.. close enough

Brett Mattin :
for better resolution add smaller resistors to series layout that adds to 260 ohms.
