well I don tthink someone (me) will use this under the hood or under a car 
well I could but its kinda overkill for that use
anyway. maybe tonight or tomorrow Iāll get everything wired together and post some short videos of it actually doing something before I get some pvc parts to try and package it up
two videos of the guts workingā¦ now to build a case
I'm up to wiring as well. When do you think you can come around?
what help you wire yours up? nawā¦ I gotta build my case yetā¦
I spend most of my time on the host and as little as possible on the driver which is silly given the driver is the heart. Nice to see it being done the other way around.
I think I spent maybe 10 mins total on the code. more time was spent attaching wires to things and connecting the wires together my code is simpleā¦ about 10 lines longā¦
unless I decide to put modes and or a indicator/display of some sort on it.
A lot more in there than just code but even your minutes spent are more than I do.
thanks I think :>
anywayā¦ tomorrow I hope to get some of the parts to start making the caseā¦ and a power switch
Bump for update in first post, new photos will be posted shortly
Those couple of leds are really pumping out the light. Have you had extended runs yet? I was just wondering how well the heat sinks work.
not together noā¦ but the cool white heatsink does get warmā¦ not hot but warm, the driverā¦ very warm almost hotā¦ so there will be ventilation, will mount a fan to each ācannonā Iām pondering calling it a light faucetā¦ and maybe getting a waterfaucet handle for the pot
when pwmād the drivers and heatsinks dont get warm reallyā¦ under say 80% fullā¦
Iāve got a handle mounted, mounting main power switch shortlyā¦ then I have to drill vent holes for the led heatsinksā¦ then figure out how Iām gonna mount the fans and cut vents for those
then I can cut holes for the wires that have to go between each podā¦ then attach the pods together and start wiring things together, taking lots of photos as I goā¦
bump for photos of case postedā¦
Holy smokes! 8) Itās handheld, I can see the handle
yup barely
More photos added to case postā¦ worked on it a bit more before work this afternoon nearly ready for connecting stuff inside and seeing how it looks onā¦
yay I should be finished in a few more daysā¦ unless I find Iām missing something else! YAY.
I think you win the most complex build award! Wow, I am impressed with your skill level. Beam shots out yet?
Nice build, canāt wait for the finished product.
complex? not really some of the others seem more complex to me.
closest I have to a beam shot are the videos in the third post I thinkā¦
once I get everything connected Iāll see if I can take a beam shotā¦
thanks
okay, warm white tube all wired and ready to connect, finishing the cool white tube tonight. more stuff goes in this one. so more to do pondering how I want to attach them together. for now I might use ziptiesā¦ as the hose clamps I wanted to use are too shortā¦ gotta get 2 small ones to make em just a bit longer
then may have to lengthen the power wire as wellā¦ eventually I might use a hobby lipo pack. but for now. external 4500mah 12 volt gel cell
