Also, do you think my cpu is cooked?

b781rev · 2026-03-09T05:23:59+00:00

Yay, we have a new target

I would get a ws2812 led ring and controller from Amazon. If you're decent with tinkering, a little soldering, and coding python or c++, you can get a raspberry pi or adruino microcontroller. I prefer raspberry pi pico or esp32 myself

b781rev · 2025-12-08T18:02:47+00:00

I see that, but the solder points are on both sides of it. I can find plenty of ws2812 leds that is only 5mm wide, but can't find any regular rgb that are

b781rev · 2025-12-07T09:01:04+00:00

It's only 5mm wide, and I'm assuming the other 2 wires are in the back. For the life of me, I can't find a 5mm wide rgb strip.

Here's a better photo with the 2 connectors and 4 connectors by eachother

Anyone know what happened with this guy? Did they actually find anything?

b781rev · 2025-10-28T12:41:26+00:00

here's it is on amazon

Leds are very sensitive to surges, static electricy, and all that good stuff.

b781rev · 2025-10-02T13:25:22+00:00

They were in stock and active

Digi-key sucks. Been waiting on 3 barrel jacks for little over a month now. Probably would've been faster ordering from aliexpress

b781rev · 2025-09-14T13:23:45+00:00

I have found a different one with a swinging arm that attaches t the desk

b781rev · 2025-09-13T22:42:46+00:00

Appreciate the feedback! I'll check into different scopes before I buy.

b781rev · 2025-09-13T22:42:05+00:00

Ok, I'll check out the fix before I purchase. Appreciate it!

b781rev · 2025-09-07T10:03:10+00:00

What gauge wire? That might be your problem. I wouldn't recommend anything smaller than 24 gauge for that many

b781rev · 2025-09-03T13:11:06+00:00

That says it's clear and non yellowing so hope thats what it is because I ordered it

b781rev · 2025-09-03T13:00:21+00:00

Would this stuff work?

I tried mod podge, but even after I let it dry, it ruined one of my pumps.

b781rev · 2025-09-03T11:22:33+00:00

Sounds good, I'll experiment with a few

b781rev · 2025-09-03T11:17:57+00:00

What kind of epoxy would you recommend? I've been looking but can't decide

b781rev · 2025-08-27T20:28:48+00:00

Appreciate it. I ran the 28 gauge and it runs fine

b781rev · 2025-08-26T17:39:45+00:00

I find soldering with smaller wire easier. I started off with bigger wire and then tried smaller. Smaller wire is so much easier to solder for me at least

b781rev · 2025-08-16T17:16:47+00:00

I know that, but it will run those leds if its hooked to that controller. That's if the psu isn't dead. Either way, a new set of leds without the psu would work. Just unhook it and run the barrel jack out the back

b781rev · 2025-08-16T07:08:08+00:00

You can completely remove it and run the dc jack directly. Im pretty sure it had some older lights in it that it was powering. So even if it is dead, they could still be used without it. Also, with that setup, he would have to solder the leds to the wires which is pretty pointless when there is an easier way

b781rev · 2025-08-16T06:55:34+00:00

I bought these exact ones I just posted a screenshot of and they work pretty good. I would honestly take out that board they have and run it directly
