So I built this, using just 4 of the diodes for red:
Everything in my circuit is the same. 4 N4001 diodes. The resistor is 1 ohm, 10 watts. My power source is 3.1 volts (2 AAA's), and I am using the rckstr driver. The polarities of the diodes are correct. When I try to measure the voltage across the resistor though, it reads a constant 6mV no matter how I turn the pot... and each diode reads about .57V...
