40 bucks a piece ?? |Edit : Nevermind, I was blind, it's 40 bucks for 5 pieces lol They are only 3 watt, that means 1 watt per color. So don't expect too bright, but they will work. Watch out, they are common cathode, while you'd want common anode ! (unless you use -12v or -5v)

It depends on the voltage of your leds or bulbs Bladex. If you use 12v, then use the yellow(+) and black(-). If you plan on using the 5v rail, you could use the red wire instead of the yellow. When you're using a seperate computer PSU (recommended), you need to short pin 13(black) to pin 14(green) to start the PSU, otherwise it will stay off when power is applied. Here you can see how : http://tech-reviews.co.uk/articles/boot-your-psu-without-a-motherboard/

When your strobe is active, did you put the timers in your ini file ? For example S7 300. It's important you do, because if you don't the LedWiz wil try to do the strobing (rom controlled) for you by switching the relais very fast. The switching of the relais could be the issue of your LedWiz reacting funny. A solution could be to put the timers in place or use an optocoupler. Perhaps a diode could to the trick as well. Maybe maxxsinner could shed some light on this issue. Probably a better light too lol. The monitor issues are most likely because of the bad shielding from the PSU and the monitor (or cable) being sensitive about it. What are the exact specifications on your PSU ? (and the previous one) If possible, try to move the PSU to another section of your cab, that would most likely solve it. It would mess up all the decent wiring you did so far, but it could be worth it. 2cts

See ? I knew it was you

I have two strobes just above the playfield glass, see my vid. There are no issues with reflection at al. There is someone who placed the flashers just above the playfield, but I forgot who....

thanks for making the sticky bbb. It could be some EM signal Lettuce, but it's kinda unlikely. To test this just put your strobe 10 feet away from the cab. Are you 100% sure you wired it correctly ?

google is your friend :

There are 4 connectors on the switch. Two (silver on Chris' picture) go to your I-Pac (one ground and one "switched") and the other two (golden on picture above) are for you led or bulb. The ground wire you can just daisy-chain to all other buttons and run back to your PSU. (not to the I-Pac !) The remaining + wires go to either your PSU 12v or to your LedWiz depending on how you want your buttons to operate. As for the I-Pac wires you can also daisy-chain the ground wire. Did I make any sense ?

lol yeah, a good zap with 220v will shake your bones. I had to endure several in my young days as a kid lmao

You can always put extra fuses on lead wires that feed components. Keep in mind that two fuses on one wire would be useless though and don't add extra safety. Always as close as possible to the powersource so that in case of a short the complete wire is always fused. If you'd put it on the other end and there would be a short between the PSU and the fuse, you will still have problems. However.... keep in mind that most PSU's aready have their own protection circuits and/or fuses. Take a good look on how many amps you need on a fuse, especially with motors. Motors tend to 'spike' when starting up. Go to low and you blow it each time you start the engine. To high and it will do little to nothing to protect your wiring. I've seen guys fuse a really thin wire with a 10A fuse. In that case the wire becomes the 'burning' fuse

Great stuff in there. Lots of people will find this useful. Thank you. I loved the joke with the SED Smoke Emitting Diode.

Blur, your scripting skills with autohotkey are very good. It's safe to say we are all glad to have you here and making time for us noobs to adapt things to all of our needs. A big thank you is in place !

And here's the project I started. http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11392

Doh.. excuse my stupidness. *inserts foot in mouth*

Blur, would you mind updating your first post with the 1.28 link ? I DL-ed that version and got into focus trouble and had to roll back. I just found 1.29 buried deep in this thread on page 6 I believe. Would be neat to have that on e on page one. Tnx ! Num
