As someone who makes a lot of PCBs you'd think after having built like 4 of these I'd just make a PCB instead of point to point soldering each one. But it's also kind of fun to just clip, solder, and go. These are WLED controllers for my Christmas light show. I use old telephone trunk wire.

This is actually a great idea, I honestly kind of forgot I could rewatch it, somehow.

I bought a Wilton years ago when I got mine. Outside of a Fireball Tool vice, they are pretty good. I just had to tap about 40 holes. I bought a gun tap and threw it into my 1/4" impact driver and hoped for the best. They were 1/4-20 in 1/4" mild steel, and all of them came out great, and quickly.

Very interesting data. I usually slap some polyamide tape on there and hope I forget about the project before it falls off.

My understanding is that it's both. But the correct way is kigh-cad, of course.

Printed pen mount for the CNC is working like a champ. Now the question is, can I cut out a shape and appropriately register it so it can draw my paint lines on it?

How else would the pick and place know where to put them? Haha!

Yeah, can you imagine releasing this to manufacturing? I mean... Sometimes caps have to go where they have to go but...

Pretty sure that's what HP did on this PCI card I found

Well you'll be pleased once you read one of his books, he's also a good author.

Amazing release 9 is on the horizon. It's come a long way and I might have to revise my 'all schematic capture programs are different flavors of trash' epitaph.

I started with wifi ones but packet drops would glitch the light show so I've moved to Ethernet. I now have a couple of Ethernet drops on the roof and the front of my house just for this. It's the 'ol "why buy that for $50 when I could make it myself for $70" problem...

I've seen those. I'm using a ESP32 running WLED. I'm cheap ;)

Yeah there's only a path to MORE at this point...

I've been sitting on the floor watching TV and soldering ends onto LED strips to attach to my house

Yeah Tony is great. For someone without a machine shop, I watch too much machine shop YouTube.

If you get a Vevor one I expect a review. I don't have room or money for one right now but man I'd like one.
