They give much more uniform lighting, are brighter, and wired directly to the power supply. So all I should have to do is put a 150 ohm resistor in line with the Anode/Vcc line and it should keep them from frying and still work.Īs for the light strip I left it disconnected and installed my own higher output strips along the frame above the Y rails. In other words Anode is Vcc, Gate is Signal, and Cathode is Ground. Any way their pins are marked A, G, and C, That stands for Anode, Gate, and Cathode.
If you look at one of the Da Vinci sensors I pulled the one out for the top door since it is of no use to me now but maybe a spare. Instead I am putting a 150 ohm resistor in line with the Vcc lead on the sensors. Since we know 5 volts will kill the sensors IR LEDS we would be crazy to jumper to 12. The jumper is a solder pad that is open for 5 volts and soldered for 12 volts.
Btw, how did you connect the led strip? And please, upload your config file after you're done. Please, shed some light on that jumper position, if you managed to find it.
