5-12v Led Driver

Discover how to power 5mm LEDs or any low-power LEDs using voltages ranging from 5V to 12V. Learn the essentials of building this setup, but always prioritize safety. When soldering, ensure you use eye protection and work in a secure environment. If using a mains adaptor, exercise caution to avoid electrical shocks. Please note that I am not responsible for any incidents that may occur during this process.

Begin by collecting the necessary components listed below:

- 5mm LED or LEDs of your choice

- Capacitor (I utilized 100uF 63V)

- 1K resistor (choose 1 or 2 based on your preference)

- Diode 1N4007

- Wires

- PCB (if you prefer a permanent setup)

Ensure your soldering iron is heated, and in the next step, we'll delve into the conne

ctions.

In Step 2, connect your components following the schematic.(Feel free to use any of these 2 circuits with 1 or 2 resistors, they both work same) Thoroughly inspect for solder bridges and mistakes, verifying at least twice. Connect power to GND and VCC, and link LEDs to OUT and GND. It's a straightforward process.
