Re: Custom LED Circuit - Wire Gauge?

We're only planning on a few LEDs, individually controlled. My first thought was to use the DIOs directly, but they aren't rated to handle the current - IIRC they can only do 5mA. The solenoid bumper might be an option, I think they can handle more current. The circuit itself isn't really a problem, I have a simple design drawn up - I was mainly just wondering if I'd run into problems during the inspection. To be safe, I may put together an alternate set that runs off the Spike relays that we could swap out quickly if needed. Thanks everyone for your advice!
