LED Wiz wiring question

<< < (2/4) > >>

thatitalian:
I thought this was the case. But if you are daisy chaining buttons surely the twisted parts would make contact with the ground (I assume this is for the ground connection?), wiht the nut on how can contact be made?

stephenp1983:
I read a post by kaytrim where it was stated the novagem lights use more than 20ma, and that might be a problem.  Can anyone else confirm this?

Hoopz:
This is probably the thread you read it in:

Kaytrim:
According to the GGG website the power needs for the NovaGems is 100ma @ 5v DC per button.  Since you are using 6 of these power hungry LEDs you will need to supply external power for the LEDWiz.

Your choices would be to use a Wall Wart or get the 5v from a hard drive power connector on your computer.

So would a usb port provide enough power for just six of the nova gems, or would I Need another power source?  Also on daisy chaining the wires from each button would I just twist them together and leave them, or what could I use to seal each twist between buttons.

when u get done lighting up your control panel don't forget to put the Christmas presents under the cab.  :laugh2: Just kidding. I too tried to light up my control panel when I first built my cab.
