Step 8Make Connections and Wire Up the Controller
If a controller board is not being used.
- And Auto-Change LEDs are being used connect the Power Supples V+ to LED's Anodes and V- to the LED's Cathodes (each LED has its own resistor).
- Single Current Regulator such as a large wattage resistor, connect LED+ to V+ with a large wattage(3w+) resistor, connect all the LED Cathodes to GND/V-
This step requires the 8 Channel LED Driver to be assembled.
Take a look at the wiring diagram and start finding which wires go where. You may want to label them if need be.
The screw-down terminal's are extremely small. I had to use a flat head screw driver from an eyeglass repair kit.
All LED#1's go to Terminal 1 on the PCB
All LED#2 go to Terminal 2 on the PCB
And so on.
Screw them in tight and watch out for loose strands of wire that could cause a short.
There are 2 wires that are labled LED+ on the driver, each side should have one of those wires soldered to its V+ rail(LED Anodes)
- Mount the panel-mount DC Jack into the 9/16" hole drilled into the outer wall.
- Take the button mounted to the perf-board and with some glue (super, hot, epoxy) apply a drop to the perf-board and place into the prepared hole. Glue it in good.
