I have found the thread here about the home made terminators with the LED's.
I tried to build them 2 ways.
1. Parallel 2 270 resistors and a parallel Bi color LED. Resistance from pin 2 to 3 is 130 ohms and the LEDs seem to act properly. The ohms read correctly and the LED works fine.
2. Resistors are soldered together in pin 3. R1 is soldered to pin 2. The other side of R2 is soldered to 2 of the pins on the LEDs and then the other 2 pins for the LEDs are soldered in pin 2. The LEDs appear to work correctly, but the resistance between pin 2 and 3 is 260 Ohms. This is how they tell you to build them in the online page. This does not seem correct to me.
What am I missing? Thanks for the input.
Diagram to hopefully make it easy to understand.
