Another Altoids Ipod Charger

Step 2 Hooking Up the battery and Switch

Hook the 9v Battery clip up to the batter
Take the red wire (positive) from the clip and solder it to one end of the switch
then solder the other end of the switch to the resistor and solder the resistor to the positive side of the led

the resistor should be a 220(u)-1k(u) the 220(u) color code is a red, red, brown, gold or silver(tolerance) and the 1k(u) is brown, black, red, gold or silver. the perfected one would be thee 220(u) range. the one showed in the picture is a 10(u) resistor and it would burn out the ipod because the voltage would be to high. ~~~binary_man_1010~~~

errr, no that's not right for two reasons:

Reason 1: resistors resist current not potential difference
Reason 2: the resistor is there to protect the LED and not the iPod its self

What are the colors from the LED? how much resistance?
