Hello all,
so I am looking at the back of a package of common LEDs (yes, from
Radio Shack, I have my asbestos flame suit on , and it shows a
schematic for illuminating LEDs in what I perceive to be a parallel
configuration. The schematic demonstrates 2 LEDs, with the anodes and
cathodes in OPPOSITE configuration.
1. Why does it have to be that way, rather than anodes and cathodes
in register?
2. If I were to add subsequent LEDs to the circuit would I have to
obey the opposite configuration?
Thank you in advance for any and all responses.
Regards,
Dan
