RE: Quick, easy, and cheap LED control
OK now is where it starts to matter more about polarities of stuff
On LED's the long arm is positive, the shorter is negative.
Take one of the LED's and cut the longer arm down so its kinda short, but still long enough to solder. Take a 1-2 inch piece of wire (I used red to keep polarities straight), and solder it to where you just cut.
Now solder the resistor to other end on that piece of wire.(the side of the resistor doesn't matter there is no polarity with them)
Take the other LED, and cut off the shorter leg, and solder a black(or how I used white) piece of wire to it. measure it so you have enough wire to reach where you want the LEDs. Then on the other end of that wire solder it to the resistor on the side opposite of the red wire coming off of the other LED.
Now cut down the longer arm that is left, and solder a longer piece of wire to it(a little longer than you need to reach where you put the servo so you can take the body off easy)
do the same on the other side but use the color of wire you used for the negative
Solder the opposite gender connector onto those wires.
