I am? sorry; I meant to talk about the resistor to put in series with a light emitting diode when connecting it to a power source? like, without a transistor, even. but I think I know what happened. I forgot there was a diode in the circuit with the light emitting diode, so I got lazy and referred to the light emitting diode as a diode.
Im going to go edit that post
edit: alright, I think I cleaned it up; but Im not sure how much cleaner. also, Nerdz, which diagram are you looking at? Im looking at carbongraphite's, and there is a resistor connected to the base of the transistor, R2, and R1, the resistor I was talking about in my previous post is restricting the current flowing through the light emitting diode, and the transistor
