LEDWiz wiring to exceed 500ma

<< < (3/3)

Kayden:
You were confusing me until I'll got to the end and read you were talking about version 1.  I thought by mentioning the banks you'd know I was talking about the version 2.  Bank 1 is post 1-8, etc. 

VicBond007:
OK then yes, you want to feed a +5v wire from your power supply into bank 1, and another into bank 2 for lights 9-16.  You can use the same wire, just don't jump bank 1 to bank 2.  Split your +5v power line.  Never even seen a picture of a v2. All of the internet hype was about the v1 so that's the subject of all the pictures I could find online, hence why I had no clue as to what the screw terminals are labeled.

Kayden:
Isn't splitting one wire and running it to both the same as running it to one and then jumping it to the next?

I'll try to remember to take a picture of it for you when I get home.

Thanks guys for the help.

I decided to keep the 500ma (24 LED's) connected to the on-board USB of the LEDWiz and then use an extra USB port directly on the motherboard of the PC, and "spliced" a USB cable to pull an extra 5V line for the remaining 8 LED lights.

Works like a champ...  :)
