I'm just starting, and still on the 'hello LED world' steps...
i have a bunch of leds, and no idea what are their voltage drops and other attributes... heck i can't even tell the anode from the cathode in most of them without testing.
Is there a standard i can consult? or are they completely non-standard?
i mean, can i infer the attributes by any markings? size? shape? Or if I don't have the manufacturer specs can i very well throw them off?
