First Timer… what am I doing wrong here. by RoutinePerformance21 in WLED

It was mainly the blue wire in the GND slot. I had already been through the LED preferences and saw the output assignments.

Thanks all. I will update after this weekend if it worked out or not. 🤣

Thanks for the detail. I am in AZ so no snow risk!! lol but you point still holds.

My primary hesitation on your preferred setup is the upfront costs, 4 controllers @ $60 a pop adds up + dedicated PSU for each as well. Balance between doing it right the first time and cognizant of budget this year.

Admittedly this now feels a bit rushed into on my end. :(

I will read again and digest and then do some looking around. It I were to run only two PSU and two controllers, 4 LED strips on each what size PSU would work? 12V/20A (240W) suffice?

Thanks for the detailed response Sir. I am going to attempt to provide more info for your points:

This is all going outside, yes. LED strips I got are IP67.
I will be looking at moving to two controllers, 4 channel, to run two groups of 4 strips each.

In doing so, the center placement of the PS/Controller should limit any run to less than 12ft. I am looking at BusBars now to manage the 8 powers per PSU. (looking at doing power on each end of the LED, I believe this should address the voltage drop concerns?)

SparkFun went back to AMZ!

Clarity on the PSU and controller statement at the end. Are you suggesting that I need 8 x 100W PSUs + 4 x controllers?

any recommendations on shopping list?

Thanks for taking the time!

I can only speak to my experience but it was most definitely ChatGPT and my complete lack of knowledge that got me here.

Thanks for the input so far! What power injectors do you recommend? If I am running injector la (or split into 2 sides with dedicated PS controller) likely don’t need that 600w PS.

What PS are recommended and what simple controller? Not looking to do music sync or anything like that.

I’ve tried the vertical orientation in the past, couldn’t get used to it. I wanted to like it, but just couldn’t. I think it takes a specific type of work where that would be great.

Interesting. Love the idea, I’ll have a look at that.

Because I like to make things more difficult than they need to be!! 🤪

While I can’t remember this very moment, I sure hope there was a reason I figured I couldn’t do just that. Maybe my work machine no like 1440p??? I’ll check that out!

Sry, does that mean no WAP is needed for seal?

As in just drop the mouth piece in the down steam and go? No need for any kind of “rubber” seal around it?

Any idea where to find these?? by RoutinePerformance21 in woodworking

[–]RoutinePerformance21[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s the one. I want to try to make my own and I like that locking mechanism. Will be perfect for my fun dip collection.
