If you have a steady hand and a decent soldering iron with variable temperature then I would recommend giving it a go. You need a tip which is about the same size as the pads you are soldering to (quick soldering tip!) There aren't any ICs to ruin in your way (unless you are REALLY bad at soldering) Have a look at the pictures and see what you think.mook05: PM me for more details and questions As for the AU switches, is anyone keen on letting me have a look at theirs? I dont have access to anyone's AU but if you are keen to come round and let me have a look at them it might be possible to light them up! So do your switches light up already? If that's the case then it should be easy to swap the LEDs for a diff colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great price and great service. I highly recommend Matt to provide this service to all Melbournians. It certainly helped that he lived less than a kilometer away. Look out for the other goodies Matt will have on offer soon. All I can say is why did it take me 2 years to get this done. Thanks again Matt.Greg Edited 13/09/05 10:52 PM by BAXR6T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen others use the 3mm leds but your looks realy neat. I have looked as the RS Components site and found the resistors (421-8485) but which surface mount LED's would you recommend?Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they are hard to source. Im thinking of ordering a few more soon PM me if you want me to get some for you.Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinT Donating Members 372 Member For: 19y 10m 11d Posted 14/09/05 05:20 AM Share Posted 14/09/05 05:20 AM Have just heard back from cresteck, they only sell in amounts of 2000. But by buying 2000 you get them at 80 cents each.They suggested trying one of their retailers, Farnell? I will look this up next.Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
