60mm Button Brightness
I just bought a dozen of the blue 60mm buttons and they look great. However when I have them plugged into 5v they are not that bright. Can I give them more voltage, and if so, how do i still control them with the arduino?

Re: 60mm Button Brightness
Thanks, according to the product page
There's an optional LED included that will light up the button. The LED has a built in resistor so you can run it up to 12V but given the shallow depth of the button, it doesn't illuminate the entire button face evenly.
