  RE: Home-made Light Bricks
 
I would avoid exceeding the current rating on a LED, even for a fast pulse. It's much easier to design a circuit with the proper current limiting resistor, then to experiment with pulse widths. A wrong pulse width, with no current limiting, will fry (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  RE: Home-made Light Bricks
 
I brought up the pulsing in connection with a de-multiplexer, not to avoid the resistor. If you just want to hook up a pair of LEDs to the RCX motor output, by all means, use a proper resistor, and use forward/stop/reverse settings only. Not using (...)
