Animated Accent LEDs 

 
There  are  many  ways  to  “pimp”  your  saber  hilt  using  additional  small  LEDs  further 
referred in this document as 

Accent LEDs

. 

Petit  Crouton  features  a  32  stage  sequencer  that  allows  the  user  to  setup  a  blinking 
animated sequence for up to 7 LEDs. The board outputs 3.3V / 18mA max per accent 
LED pad. User must ensure the used accent LEDs have a forward voltage (Vf) lower or 
equal to 3.3V. 
 

 

Accent LEDs Resistor Footprints 

Accent LEDs PADs 

Accent LEDs 
Ground Return 

 

 
As a space saver PC embeds the footprints for SMT resistors. The footprint is made for 
0603 resistors.

 

 
To  install  those  resistors  on  the  board,  pre-tin  one  pad  only,  then  grab  the  resistor 
with  a  pair  of  sharp  tweezers,  slide  it  against  the  pre-tinned  pad,  heat  up  the  joint, 
wait for it to cool down, then solder the other side of the resistor. 
 
If  the  user  prefers  to  use  classic  resistor  with  leads,  the  SMT  footprint  must  be 
bridged: tin both pads first then add a bit of solder while the soldering iron tip is right 
in the middle of the pads. Some stripped wrapping wire can also be used to achieve 
the bridged connection. 
 
On the picture above, the red arrows point to the positive pads of the accent leds, use 
small gauge wire to send those signals to the positive of the LEDs. Flat/Ribbon cable 
can be very handy for that purpose. Then all negatives of the LEDs return to a single 
pad  pointed  by  the  blue  arrow  (ground  return). The  main  negative  of  the  board  can 
be also used as the accent led ground return. 
 

Calculating resistors for LEDs 

 
R = (Vsupply – Vled) / LedCurrent 
 
In  our  case, Vsupply  is  the  voltage  the  board  provides  to  power  the  accent  LEDs,  ie 
3.3V.  The  Vled  is  the  forward  voltage  of  the  LED,  usually  referred  as  Vf  in  the
