as if by magic, my farnell order arrived this morning...

hello all,
what a great idea - a bit of stripboard to keep all the LEDs in check
i found a set of 4mm cylindrical LEDs which at the moment don't fit in my
oversized holes - so i plan to make them fit by carefully (this time) filing
out the panel until i can jam each LED in, in this case i should need any
glue and the piece of stripboard should stop any individual LEDs from coming
loose

i suppose if you were that way inclined you could use an oversized piece of
stripboard and put a small bolt through the panel (cue stooge scream)

cheers
