Andy, Interesting, but you'd have thought that both the Controller & the Expansion boards would have the resistor(s) to ensure equal brightness?

Ian Hi Ian, I could be wrong but I suspect the resistors were added to prevent people converting their Light Emitting Diodes into Flame Emitting Diodes Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I've now 'dimmed' my LEDs using a common resistor for those plugged into the Controller Board but separate LEDs for those connected to the Expansion Board. Weird, but at least it works.
