Optoelectronics hold a range of possibilities for the hardware experimenter — indeed who among us hasn’t added LEDs aplenty to our work? What many of us may be unaware of though is that…
The secret of all diodes is that they are all LEDs as well. The frequency determined by the bandgap. For most unfortunately, that means infrared and releasing the magic smoke.
Using Diodes and their ilk as LEDs is the EE equivalent of “all mushrooms are edible, some only once”
