   Hey, for your blinky bike lamp, did you literally just alternate blinking & ordinary LEDs and power them up, or was there something more involved, er, involved?

     Ah but I'm singularly uninterested in the colours, because I am planning on doing Weird Shit lol

     @botvolution @MLE_online Probably worth noting that the colors will matter. White + red is roughly 5V, but if you want like, white and blue it probably won’t work or will be very dim, because white/blue LEDs have a larger voltage drop before they start producing light.

     @botvolution I don't know if you're building a bicycle light or some kind of modular synthesizer thing, or something else entirely but this is how I wired everything up for the bicycle light. It runs on 5 volts just like that. I just only drew four sets here instead of eight because I was lazy and you get the idea
