Not sure if this is the right forum?
anyway, im trying to power one or two low power leds (http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=35736&doy=3m7&C=SO&U=strat15)
i want them to come on when the computer is doing something by connecting them in parallel to the busy led thats already there, from what i know this seems to be right as they should have equal voltage but when theyre connected the original led turns off, will i need to use some resistors to balance the difference between the different leds [original and low power]
cheers
