can i use the LEDs after a arcade mod? Posted on: 20.02.2010 by Khalilah Srp hi guys!i just orderd arcade buttons for my vci100 and i wonder if i am the ony one who does not want to loose the LED funktion. so i want to drill holles next to the arcade buttons for the LEDs, just like the midi-fighter. must i use the 4 cables you snap and don't use in the video? must i make another 4 ground cables for the LEDS? is this possible or am i talking crap? am i the only one or does somebody has an example for me i hope i can get some awnsers and maby some cool pics. jos (btw sorry for my bad english) | |

| Kathy Elburn 26.02.2010 | It is difficult, because the colour of such a LED depends on the voltage. |
| Khalilah Srp 25.02.2010 | thanx for your help man!! not even close to the way i thought it would be... (i'm not an hero with elektronica.) and i'm still not sure if i will use the circuitboard or not. maybe its easyer with. and can i buy a led with 2 colours? bequaqs i only want to see 1 light in my vci pr button but with 2 colours. or shoult i make a hole, finish it with some transparant material(glass, plastic) and pace the leds behind it? any suggestions somebody? |

| Khalilah Srp 21.02.2010 | mayby its a good idea to use the original circuitboard and wire the buttons and leds on it,or not? |
| Kathy Elburn 21.02.2010 |
Yup you can still use them, It was a big pain to figure them out because the leds didnt go in and correlation with the order of the button. But i got it to work and drilled holes next to the buttons.
