Did you know: If you give an LED enough power, it will continue to glow after the power is removed? This is the result of a phenomena called "Catching on fire" and it can only be done once.
@easrng@cybre.space :stare_onfire:
Oh, hey, my kid discovered that too!
@easrng reminds me of "any machine is a smoke machine"
@easrng I did this once! I was also impressed with how I managed to get visible light out of an IR emitter LED.
@easrng Ok, now I'm tempted to look up what modern LEDs are made from, and if it can burn.
@easrng That's also how you convert it into a dark emitting diode (DED).
@easrng the one time an LED doesn't care which way round the voltage is
@easrng ah yes, "Analog mode"
@easrng I chuckled. Thank you.
@easrng what next, smoke emitting diodes? :P
Every Machine is a Smoke Machine, if You Operate it Wrong Enough...
@easrng Do you know how I keep it at the blue hue I bought it at instead of this biblically-hot orange-red bullshit it gives off?
