Can anyone help me, please ? Here are the details : - 3 leds SFH485P - 3 resistors (22 ohm) - 1 wire clothes hanger - 2 AA batteries (1,5 V each) - 1 batterie holder with Switch And some pictures : https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/-uLwskgwAq8n3S1f8RtbQNMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/T5l2nZKp9_XbP-reRh1KaNMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink[/url] https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/4qF1edZmzFyk81N7JOWtBtMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/yJjK0pk-LeiQyJUDW5RjvdMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink Lokan Edited by lokanratum on 07/04/2014 at 15h22.

Where did you find that document? All you need you can find here: http://www.free-track.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=1856 The polarity off the led SFH485P is a bit tricky. Check: the flat side must be negative or ground. When you check the leds with your mobile or camera (as Steph already wrote) be sure to darken your room!

Thank you very much for your help. Now I'm trying to put the right settings. It's really difficult. Besides, Free-track has many bugs. Lokan
