250mA from an Arduino Pin

It doesn't matter which side (anode or cathode) of the LED the resistor is, does it?

No problem the electrons don't care what they see first.

= 190ohm. 220ohm is closest I have. Does that sound reasonable?

Yes it does, spot on. :slight_smile:

However, have you not got a 180R resistor, that is a standard value? Anyway it doesn't matter.

RSS feed for newly added items would be great

Good idea but I am not sure if my ISP supports it, I will have to check.
