LED lit Compact Flash Reader |
|
|
|
 |
This is the first part of my modifications to light the drives in my system. A simple, single super bright LED inside my USB compact flash reader. I internalized this read a while ago, so I need to be lit. |
 |
First the guts, very simple inside. |
 |
The LED was wired to +5 volts (Traced from the USB port) and ground. (There is a 100ohm resistor under the heatshrink tubing) |
 |
The LED is placed at an angle shining down on the PCB |
 |
The light is reflected off the PCB matching the effect of the lights in my bezel. |
 |
Since my card reader can also read Type II cards and Microdrives the light still shows when a card is installed. |
