Spent still over two hours though., most of the time tweaking with the multimeter.
THE REGULATOR
Output: 4.97V
Input:16.47V
Voltage over LED: 2.088V
– over resister: 2.70V
LED IN SERIES
I don’t really have much to say about that…
LED A:2.52V
LED B:2.48V
Seems perfect? Not able to light up 3 LEDs in series though.
LED IN PARALLEL
Voltage over resistor: 2.86V
– over LED: 2.06V
Amperage calculated: 2.06V / 220 Om = 0.013A
Amperage read from meter: 0.013 – 0.014A
VARIANT VOLTAGE WITH A POTENTIOMETER
Voltage over LED while it’s:
– brightest: 3.00V
– medium: 2.60V
– dim: 2.43V
– off: 2.15V
This well explains why 3 LEDs in series didn’t work.
Special thanks to Neo for the power adaptor!
