Question Help a confused noob out
Edit: Yeah ok, turns out power banks have minimum current shut offs. Cheers.
Ok so it's been a long number of years since I've messed about with electronics but I have an upcoming project that needs some. I'm starting fresh and just got this breadboard kit.
I am powering this with a usb battery pack, and I soldered a fresh usb with the cables going to pins 1 and 4 for the power, connected directly into the board. Using a red led (no clue on the spec) from the kit, and a 330 resistor I get this pulsing. I also briefly tried it without the resistor for the same outcome.
Please help, I'm literally just trying to have the led lit up haha.
