LED ARRAY Convergence failed

In summary, the conversation discusses a simulation using Falstad and the speaker's lack of knowledge on circuits. They also mention some corrections to the schematic, such as removing unnecessary connections and only using one resistor in series with LEDs. They also mention the use of inverters and the voltage and resistance requirements for LED usage. The conversation ends with a question about the convergence failure and a suggestion to use resistors and LEDs instead of a computer or inverters.

I do not know simulation. However your schematic is incorrect.
Q2 goes nowhere and all connections to it can be deleted.
There should only be one resistor in series with LED's. (Usually)
What is LED with no red inside it?
What are triangles with 2 dots?
LED's usually take something like 1.5 volt. (1.5 volt is from my memory and it may be higher) Three LED's in series require 4.5 volt. 4.5 volt is too high a voltage to use with 5 volt power supply.
If resistors are 5 ohm, that is too low a resistance to use with LED's, (Usually)
Is there a connection missing from bottom resistor?

ty for your response. Triangles are the inverters, i want to make the word TEA... but it does not let me do E without the convergence failed
 
  • #4
I goggled voltage red LED. Voltage for red Led is something like 1.8 volt.
With 5 volt power supply, you cannot put more than 2 LED's in series. One LED would be better.
Inverters cannot connect to LED's without a resistor in series.
If all you want to do is spell the word TEA, why don't you do it with resistors and LED's? No computer or invertors required.
Convergence is failing because current is outside permissible range.

1. What does "LED ARRAY Convergence failed" mean?

"LED ARRAY Convergence failed" refers to an error message that appears on a display or TV screen when there is a problem with the convergence of the LED array, meaning that the red, green, and blue colors are not properly aligned.

2. How does "LED ARRAY Convergence failed" happen?

"LED ARRAY Convergence failed" can happen due to various reasons, such as a hardware malfunction, aging of the LED array, or an electrical issue. It can also occur if the display is moved or bumped, causing the LED lights to shift out of alignment.

3. Can "LED ARRAY Convergence failed" be fixed?

Yes, "LED ARRAY Convergence failed" can be fixed. Depending on the cause of the issue, it may require a simple adjustment or a more complex repair. It is recommended to consult a professional technician for proper diagnosis and repair.

4. How can I prevent "LED ARRAY Convergence failed" from happening?

To prevent "LED ARRAY Convergence failed" from happening, it is important to properly care for and maintain your display or TV. Avoid moving or bumping the device, and make sure it is placed on a stable surface. Regularly clean the screen and avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture.

5. Is "LED ARRAY Convergence failed" a serious issue?

While "LED ARRAY Convergence failed" may seem like a serious issue, it is usually a common and fixable problem. However, if left untreated, it can lead to a distorted or blurry display, affecting the overall viewing experience. It is best to address the issue as soon as it is noticed to prevent further damage.
