Full Version: LED placement question

Hi: almost finished with the build and no problems so far.

I have a question about the LED order. I know it really doesn't matter, but to be consistent with everyone else, which of the following is correct. I must add that I am somewhat red/green color blind: I can see a lit LED fine, but on a printed page...not so good.

On the front panel picture it appears as if this is the order is (starting L to R with Power)  R, G, G. Y, B, R, R



below that picture it shows the controller board with the order of R (on right of picture, would = Power on front panel), G, G, R, B, then whatever on the right of the front panel (Y,R or R,Y) . I know this is a silly question, but for consistencies sake, I thought it is worth it.

On my housing, I have R, G, G, Y, B, R, R. The only yellow LED is the Fault indicator.

Thanks, Joe..I thought the front panel picture would be the correct one, so since you confirmed my colors, I will finish using that.

For what it's worth there are LED chips on the main board and I thought they should match the case LEDs. The board chip LEDs are R G G R B R Y which makes more sense as the signal LED shouldn't be a fault indicator.
I wish I had read this before finishing my kit :-|
