I am trying to figure out an appropriate resistor value for the following circuit.
simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab
Input voltage - 3.3v Blue LED, forward voltage 3.3v LED : APT3216VBC My maths tells me that driving that LED at say 12ma, means that the resistor should be:
3.3-3.3/0.012 == 0
Checking with some LED resistor calculators, they suggest a 1 ohm resistor : http://led.linear1.org/1led.wiz
Given my voltage drop, and input voltage, what does the addition of this 1 ohm resistor actually make to the circuit?
Thanks
