6 LEDs in parallel with a single resistor to simplify soldering

I'm trying to wire up 6 RGB LEDs in parallel, all controlled from a single source (well, three sources, one for each colour). The LEDs came supplied with resistors to limit the current of 270 Ohm for a 5v supply. The problem is, 6 LEDs x 3 colours =…

Is it safe to connect Arduino/Netduino to car voltage source

On Netduino homepage it is stated that Netduino can be powered by input: 7.5 - 12.0 VDC or USB. The car output voltage is 12V but the car voltage source can produce voltage spikes so I am not sure whether it is safe to plug netduino directly into…

How can I persist data onto the Netduino?

Mainly, I want to persist data onto the onboard Netduino memory (if there is any?) without hooking anything else up. The idea is that I either read the data back in the next time the Netduino is plugged in (for settings), or read the data when it's…

Netduino to power 12V LED Strip

I'm a programmer by nature, but I thought I'd try dabbling in programming a micro controller. I've hooked up my voltage meter, and have figured out how to switch my output ports on/off, and they're currently outputting 3.3V. What must I do to…
