SHED SHORT: Why I Have a Gripe with Standard Sizes of LEDs

After filming my first Rabid Inventor in a Shed video realized there where a few handy hits and tips that could get lost in the middle of it.

So I have at started SHED SHORTS which focus on these tips.

Had to start with a bit of moan and why I have a problem with 3mm, 5mm and 10mm LEDs, and what I do to get around this. I'll show you an easy way to solder 0805 SMD LEDs onto perfboard, and ended up building a Larson scanner.

I used the code from this inscrutable by samlynn79 to get the Larson scanner running.

Hope You Enjoy.
