I am wiring up a Tsunami TSU-1000 decoder with LEDs. It has a blue Function Common wire and I have 2 functions to connect to it, headlight (F0 white) and mars light (F5 brown). In the instructions that came with the decoder it says about the blue wire that it is (+Raw). Now I'm presuming that that means the + wires from the LED's connect to that blue wire, and the - wires to the respective function wires. I have point(.)5watt resistors but can't find out if they would be the correct Ohms.
I did find out that I have mounted the decoder (wrapped with a heatsink) incorrectly. I used a thin piece of wood to bridge the gap in the chassis (P2k Alco PA) where the original Analogue decoder was. A recommendation I found said to mount it to a metal surface to help with the heat transference.. Now I'll have to find a piece of aluminum somewhere, must have some, somewhere.
