Amperage on 74HC595
I was thinking about picking up the SpokePOV, but I'm worried about the amperage coming out of the shift registers. By my calculations ( 8*3V/33Ohm ~= 70 mA) the ICs are running at their maximum amperage. Can this cause problems in the future?

the LEDs arent all on all the time so its not a problem. they're only pulsed
