Damn. Well, this is embarrassing. Now that I think about it, I guess I've never tried to run LEDs in parallel before... I guess I'll just run them in series, and use the required resistance of the lowest voltage led (if all 3 leds were the same). So if anything, two of them will be under-ran...

Now I'm starting to get pissed off. I just wired up the 3 LEDs in parallel and tried giving them power. Red and green were fine, blue was not. If I disconnected blue and tried wiring it up the same way as red and green, it would work fine. But as soon as it was connected to red and green...

Hey guys, I just started making one of these. I'm about 60-70% done, my design uses no sliprings. I was pondering about how to get around their use, when I got an idea I had to test. Turns out on the motors I use, the metal motor body/metal shaft are isolated from the terminals. So I simply...
