[...] I recently stumbled upon Akimitsu Sadoi’s website, The LED Artist. Akimitsu describes himself as a Brooklyn, NY based electronic artist with the motto “Art and Technology are Friends”. He designs and builds LED Art projects and offers a variety of kits for sale through his online store. I’m a sucker for anything that lights up, so it didn’t take me long to find several kits I wanted to purchase and build. I can’t afford to buy every kit I want on there, but I did pick up a couple, the smaller (and cheaper) of which is the Colour Night Joule Thief. [...]

Thanks for explaining your concern. I agree that some people don’t trust PayPal.
I guess I need to look into alternatives…

(BTW just to clarify – you _can_ checkout here with all major credit cards, without using PayPal account.)

Paypal just gives people a sence of illegitimacy. Another fly-by-night ebayer… Alot of people have had problems in the past with paypal. I know for a fact I’m not the only one. Accepting Visa & Mastercard is not as hard as it used to be. People don’t want a 4th party in their 3 party transaction. It Just seems to me that you could move more product if you got away from paypal.
Spent awhile the other night surfing your site. You have some really nice stuff that I’m sure would be a fun build for when the snow flies. A person can tell you put alot of effort into your site and your products. It just seems to be a shame that it was capped off with a crap paypal cart system.

Looking from the top side of the PCB, anode goes to the right. Silk screen of the LED has a little flat side to the left, which indicate cathode, and LEDs have the flat side as well.

The colour changing LED has an anode and a cathode. When it is inserted in the
board, which one goes next to the printed name?
It’s difficult to decipher the schematic and
the PCB board.

Thanks
