How much current does this LED draw?
What is the voltage drop?
Wired up an Uno and a INA219 current sensor to see what the draw is for this car light LED I found on the road.
I pumped 5v through it with a 480 Ohm Resistor.
Arduino Script:
#define PIN 13
#include <Wire.h>
#include <Adafruit_INA219.h>

while (!Serial) {
// will pause Zero, Leonardo, etc until serial console opens
