Resistors for 259rgbm5c Moderators: adafruit_support_bill, adafruit

[aplocher]

Hi, I purchased some of the 259rgbm5c LEDs (seen here https://www.adafruit.com/product/2739 )

Could someone please tell me which resistors I should use when connecting to a Raspberry PI?

Thanks!

Here is a tutorial on LEDs that might help. The main reason for the resistor is to limit the current.

Thanks, the datasheet for this item is a bit cryptic (at least for a circuit n00b like me). Was just hoping someone had already figured out the values for the 3.3v or 5v inputs from the Pi and was willing to share :).
