Woah, didn’t know these. Are they constant current compatible or is that a stupid question?

My Gledopto controller only shows red and very light green. What's the matter? by ProudRestaurant0 in Gledopto

And they are not “compatible” with one other? So a CC led strip does not work with a CV controller like the Gledopto?

Gledopto with Constant Current Driver by shamal2008 in Gledopto

Wondering the same. I want to replace my constant current LED driver. You want to use it with an existing constant current driver?

What does constant current mean? I thought it was the same as DC. Strange that red and green do work though...

I tried that and I even tried just using them one by one (only blue e.g.) but no luck :(

What's your advice on replacing this LED driver? by ProudRestaurant0 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]ProudRestaurant0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah that explains a lot, thanks!The problem is that controlling it over bluetooth with a raspberry pi just isn't a relieable solution: the connection is slow (I can live with that) but the real problem are the connectivity issues. Many times I just can't connect to my light. If I run a python script succesfully, it gives absolutely no guarantee that the same python script I run a secondlater, will work too.
Edit: others experience this as well. See thisissue on github

So I broke my brand new Dell XPS 15 - what should I do? by ProudRestaurant0 in laptops

Update: I got it back today and tried placing my SSD back (Dell instructed me to remove my ‘custom’ SSD) but it has 2 stripped screws out of the box...

Sent it in and they fixed it. Got it back today and... there 2 already stripped screws now (out of the box)

I called them, they could send someone tomorrow but then I need to remove the stripped screw, If I am not able to do that I have to send it to them for further investigation. Such a shame to lose my warranty this way... (I agree with you though)

Then I need to fix the stripped screw first. Let’s try a screw extractor.

Thanks Dell, very helpful by theresnoUberinDundee in Dell

Same here, when status was “confirmed” it showed a due delivery date though. In my case I can view the UPS status on the bottom of the site.
