The LED Driver Chiclet is the easy solution to adding an LED indicator to your DIY Serge/Buchla/ Banana based project! The chiclet mounts to any banana jack you might have on the panel. It can use that jack as the source to monitor, or you can simply use the jack to mount the board and input an external source.

With such a low parts count, the use of SMD parts makes this a great beginner SMD soldering project. Using 0805 sized components, the LED Driver Chiclet is a very simple project to get over the DIY SMD soldering hump!

Build notes:
R1 is dependent on the kind of LED you use and your supply voltage. Super bright is always recommended to cut down on current requirements, but not required. Ohm’s law will be your friend in figuring out this value. Resistance equals Voltage divided by Current (R=V/I)
Supply voltage = 12V, source input voltage 0-5V, average non-super bright led, R1 ballpark could be 1K-2K2
