Quantity | Component name | |
2 | × | GE Color Effects Lights http://www.geholidaylighting.com/color-effects/us I like the super large G35 "bulbs" and have two strings for a total of 100 pixels. |
1 | × | Arduino Uno (for building prototypes and code) If I have to describe this to you.... |
1 | × | Arduino Pro Mini 5V 16MHz (for implementation) From Adafruit & Sparkfun. Chosen because the processor specs exactly match those of the Uno. |
1 | × | Pelican 1120 Case Smallest Pelican case I could find. Easy to machine/drill, watertight, lightweight, rugged... |
1 | × | 5V 10A Power Supply I bought a MeanWell because they had really good data sheets and the power supply wouldn't derate at winter temperatures here. |
3 | × | Cable glands For any cables penetrating through the side of the Pelican. Trying to keep the power supply and Arduino dry! |
2 | × | IP67 3-wire pigtails So I can disconnect the strings of lights from the controller for storage |
1 | × | AC power cord, 3-wire |
5 | × | Crimp on ring terminals As required. I used a mix of blue and red because my project uses a mix of wire sizes. Choose the correct terminal for the wire size and crimp properly. |
1 | × | LocTite Stick 'n' Seal http://www.loctiteproducts.com/p/6/31/cntct_osns/overview/Loctite-Stik'n-Seal-Outdoor-Adhesive.htm |
