Hi I'm Having a Bad day.
OK, Probably simple but my memory is not what it was. I'm Trying to calculate the value of the series resistor for some IR LED's.
Now I know the formula
Vs-Vf/If = R
My problem is I can't remember the value of If eg is it in Amps or mA
Vs = 12v
Vf = 1.4v
If = 100mA
I know this is stupid but I just can't get it today (senility setting in)
All help appreciated
