Frustrated

Grrrr! this is frustrating.... I fried my first attempt at an interactive light project,(gave it too much power and shorted out the leds). Now my servo wont work right. It sounds like it wants to turn but then doesn't, it just growns. This was fun now I'm frustrated.

  1. Don't get frustrated! Regulate your LEDs with resistors. Don't exceed the power specs on your servos. When you figure out how to move past this, blog about what you learned.

  2. These will be useful for saving your LEDS.
