They have.Bibin said:but I last saw it 3 years ago, so they may have become worse in how helpful they are.

Unfortunately, it's not voltage dependent or anything like that.
Just a simple bicolor LED.
Run current through one way, it's Red.
The other way, Green.

No, it was a different one, made to work in the fashion described. I only saw it a few times a year ago, though, so I'd not be surprised if Rat Shack stopped carrying them (or anything else useful)
N00BModdr said:I looked on RadioShack's website, and all I can find is bicolor LEDs that have three prongs, and change color depeding on what is hooked up where. Nothing on voltage. I'm going to RadioShack tomorrow anyways, so I'll ask...

Yeah, that's what I meant.

Close, but the GBC runs on 3V.Basement_Modder said:This is the simplest solution. The circuit will need to be modified a little, working on that.

EDIT-
Battery-6v (approx. 6.3v on full charge. LED goes to red at 6.1v)
R1-5600 ohm
R2-4700 ohm
R3-470 ohm
Just apply that to daftmike's circuit and you're all set.

That's what voltage regulators are for.
Then his precious circuit wouldn't work.Bibin said:Why not just do it right the first time with 3V? A voltage regulator will waste a bit of power anyway, and take up more space.
