Optima to Hypeye D pro without expansion kit?

[mircan 0]

I was wondering did anyone manage to connect Optima LED to Hypeye D pro without expansion kit (direct wire connection)?
My Optima LED broke so I have the cable and I don`t need extra options in expansion kit. For mounting of the kit you still need to open up Hypeye and it uses standard jack.

Depends how good your skills are. Hmmm and if you wire it backwards you may blow out the LEDs. Here is the schematic of the expansion kit.

I`m not so skilled, but people back at work teach that kind of stuff for living, so I have somewhere to take this.
Thank you.

LED = Light Emitting Diode

Diodes (including light emitting diodes) are devices that only allow electricity to flow in one direction. An LED must be connected to a power source with some form of resistance in series with the LED. If the LED is connected directly to a source with forward bias, the LED will be destroyed. Just connecting an LED backwards will not damage it.

After Breadboarding an LED circut, I have my students turn the LED around backwards to see what will happen. It will not damage the LED, but will disrupt the circut.

Now, should I do my lecture on OHMS law?
