Forgoing voltage regulator

CrossRoads:
Looks like you're still missing a GND on HT1632 if the name on the symbol means anything.
On the board, why is LED2 and R6 (330K? will the LED turn on?) so much different than LED1 and the other resistors? Just wanted the soldering challenge?

Missing GND? Hmm I don't see it :frowning:
I have GND1,2,3 all connected to GND.
Oops with 330K, I meant 330 Ohm, thanks for noticing, I just fixed it :slight_smile: I got value from LED resistance calculator. I think everything up to 1K should be ok, it's ok if it will be dim.
I never worked with SMD parts, and don't have any right now. LED2 is optional, but LED1 shows that power is on. I guess I might as well replace it too :slight_smile: Gonna dig thru my junk pile, maybe I can desolder some SMD LEDs and Resistors from various printer/networking equipment I have.
