Breathing LED

[leafflat]

I purchased a CPU Water block which has a small hole for you to put an led into it. I want to have a single LED breathe that would be connected to the molex 5v or 12v line but cannot find anything.

 

My soldering skills are non existent and i don't own a soldering iron so a pre-built board would be better.

 

If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

No clue. Maybe you could find some sort of small molex led?

I've looked and couldn't find anything. I think I'm being really specific and that's the problem. I really just need a single LED to breath.

What's the water block? You can find dozens of kits online but unless we know the water block, you may as well blindfold us, give some darts, and tell us to hit a bullseye.

Barrow 115x Transparent Top. It has a small hole which fits a standard bulb LED into it.

Well my searches came up with either a kit you have to assemble yourself or a pre-assembled one that won't allow you to do what you want because the LEDs are soldered to the board.

 

So if you really want this, better start learning some electronics skills. :3

Thanks, I've found kits but they all come with blue LED's. Will these LED's work in place of the ones in this kit?

Edit: Also if you can explain who so I understand for the future.

Those LEDs should work.

 

And I don't understand the last question.

Thank you so much for the help. I guess I'll take the money I would have spent on a pre-built setup and put it into a soldering iron and learn how to solder.

 

I don't know much about electrical parts, just curious how you know it will work? Is there a LED standard? Do they all pull the same current?

Any led, or electronic part should have a data sheet which will list the capabilities and limits of the device, as well as pinouts, for leds they only work one direction.

 

Diodes don't have a set amount of current they need, they will have a set voltage drop across them like a diode under forward bias conditions though.

 

There is also no LED standard there are LEDs of every type that have a wife variety of characteristics.

 

There is more to electronics then just soldering stuff together, the second link you posted was for an LM358 op amp that is going to be used to make some sort of half way rectifier, i know this from taking a lot of electrical engineering classes, you might want to learn what the components are and how they work.
