I am using a typical 16F628A chip to power 2 LEDs among other things.
Let's just say space is something that's scares in this project and I have am using DIP Components.
One of the Pin will drive two LEDs.
I know that the "safest" approach is to put the resistor between the pin and the respective LED's anode.
The configuration is:
Pin->Resistor->Anode of LED.
This single pattern is repeated with the other LED [there are only two LEDs].
Could I get that one pin to drive the two LEDs like this ?
Pin->Anode of LED :: Cathode of LED to -> Resistor ->Ground.
The other LED will have its anode to the Pin and Cathode to the same resistor shared by the First LED. [resulting in one pin driving two LEDs with a SINGLE resistor]
Is this ok ?
