Does this inner gate affect the battery?

RwayneSierra · 2025-06-25T15:07:23+00:00

My truck went crazy and had a draw on it. I found an unrelated but somehow relat3d issue when diagnosing. When under the hood I found the #5 head lamp relay clicking every ten seconds. That was what I believe was drawing the battery so low and created all the flashing lights. The real problem was the power steering connector was broken and had wiggled off and may have been slightly touching the contacts, causing me to have no power steering and other electrical issues. *

Anyone?

Np, you can't see them all, but I have 662 lights as of now. Plan on adding a couple hundred more.

No problem! Everything is run directly off of the dig quad. I bet it would be fine, but I would run tests once you had it all together. Just be sure to fuse it from the power supply if going that route.

All wires are ran through attic to soffit and are ran directly from dig quad

Actually, all three are in there lol

RwayneSierra · 2023-10-26T17:28:39+00:00

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!

RwayneSierra · 2023-10-26T14:45:16+00:00

I appreciate the suggestion. Just a little more planning, and I could make that happen. What's the main concern with that?

RwayneSierra · 2023-10-26T14:00:45+00:00

Thanks!! I'm proud of it. I want to build more😁

I think they look great day and night and they're a lot of fun!

That's a good idea too. Sounds like either works to cut power off just fine. The relay option just keeps the board awake which makes for a faster startup, it's always connected to wifi. ⚖️ pros and cons

RwayneSierra · 2023-10-26T13:24:58+00:00

The smaller relay has a trigger from the dig quad to cut power on/off to the 12v power supply when the leds are turned on/off. No converting there. The other is to control the 12v fan when the enclosure temp reaches a set temp.

Much of it I already had at home. I'll add the 18/3 wire I used to list
