i thought i would show my very simple setup, it safes the trouble of wat resistors to buy and making a mount for the led's .

basicly used a needle and thread to attach the leds.

ive also added a switch so i dont have to get up from my chair if im planing not to use it for a short time / i guess it extends the life of the leds.

ive used an old modem power box that gives out 6 volts
INPUT:100-240VAC
          50/60hz 0.5A
OUTPUT:6V---- 2.0A          led's r 1.5 volts each

the camera i use is made by a company called colbat its a "Audio Web Cam 31"
it was $15 aus , and as u can see after about a week the cheap case broke so i took out the insides.

and this is wat is seen by the camera ' i couldnt get this shown in FT as it crashes with the camera going unless its minimised my fps is 30/29 and jiter is 2

the leds r also non transperent i found them better as they dont create glare like transperent ones and there for they show a more solid dot.
