Re: LEDs on Operator Console?

An assortment pack from Radio Shack is your garden variety of 20ma LEDs. Try one and see if it bright enough. The reds are likely to be the brightest in your assortment. At 3.3 volts, 200 ohms sounds ok for a series resistor. Be sure to make measurements so you are not drawing more than the recommended maximum current.
