I'm looking for a way to light a 3.0v-3.4v 20mA LED to indicate when a usb 2.0 port has a plug in it. The light should only be on when a device is plugged in. My usb 5v line is about 3.2 to 3.3 amps with an Xbox 360 Controller connected. I tried wiring the led and resistor in series with the 5v usb port. The LED lit but the plugged in device did not work. I'm guessing the LED was only allowing 20mA to the device (Xbox 360 Controller) which was not enough for it.Would something like this work with a separate led power source? I'm REALLY new at this.
