 ### Additional Note About Voltage
-Either 3.3V or 5V can be used to power the LEDs, however the resistor used will be different. 3.3V has the minor advantage that it may be more consistent due to being provided by the ESP32's voltage regulator while 5V is provided from the usb port.  
+Either 3.3V or 5V can be used to power the LEDs, however the resistors used will be different. 5V can only be used when powered over USB while 3.3V can be used with both USB and battery power.

+Follow these steps to wire LEDs to the Seeed XIAO ESP32-S3 safely and effectively:
 
-- 1x USB Type-A male port to power both ESPs or LEDs

+- **Power Options for LEDs**:
+  - Either **3.3V** or **5V** can be used to power the LEDs.
+  - **3.3V** is compatible with both USB and battery power.
+  - **5V** can only be used when the ESP32 is powered via USB.
 
-- 1x Lower gauge wire to power ESPs
-  - 28 AWG gauge wire:
-    - [AliExpress](https://www.aliexpress.com/)
-    - [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/)
+- **Resistor Requirements**:
+  - For **3.3V** power: Use **82-ohm resistors** in series with the LEDs.
+  - For **5V** power: Use **160-ohm resistors** in series with the LEDs.
 
-- 1x Higher gauge wire to power IR emitters (V3 or V4 some assembly required)
-  - 34 AWG:
-    - [AliExpress](https://www.aliexpress.com/)
+- **Steps to Wire the LEDs**:
+  1. Connect the **GND pin** on the ESP32 to the cathode (short leg) of the LED.
+  2. Add an appropriate resistor (82 ohms for 3.3V, 160 ohms for 5V) in series with the anode (long leg) of the LED.
+  3. Connect the other end of the resistor to either:
+     - **3.3V pin** (if using 3.3V power), or
+     - **5V pin** (if using 5V power).
+  4. Repeat the process for additional LEDs, ensuring each has its own resistor.
+
+- **Important Notes**:
+  - Do not connect LEDs directly to the ESP32 pins without a resistor, as it may damage the LEDs or the microcontroller.
+  - Ensure the ESP32 is correctly powered based on your selected voltage (USB or battery).
