grrr.. I flubbed..
instead of r = .01/9 make it r = 9/.01

| basicly.. it's i*r=v where i = current in amps and r = resistance in ohms and v = voltage in volts.. so.. If we want to find out the resistor's value.. we re arrange it like so.. r = v/i so 10 millamps (typical led current) = .01 Amps.. And at 9 (...) (27 years ago, 12-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)
