Re: Need help reading a schematic.
We was cross posting I think. I got different readings now that I had a good power source going to the board. Yeah, I measured the voltage between the resistor's two ends.
I think I got it figured out. The current should be the same for each row, right? So the current for the resistor, being 14.7 milliamps, should also be the current that is going to the LEDs as well, right? Because the current in a series circuit is everywhere the same. And the current at the bottom of the board layout, the parallel circuit part, the current there would be 14.7 * 8 = 117.6 milliamp, the same number that the whole circuit uses. Do I have this right?
