[Emc-users] This sparkfun opto kit, 2 channel. Question re led polarities.

2014-03-02 Thread Gene Heskett
Greetings; leds are something I'll have to plead less than a full understanding of. So, if I connect these 2 channels of this sparkfun kit such that the anode of one is connected to the cathode of the other, effectively placing them in parallel, add a current limiter in series with the common
