Even I'm not sure where to post this one but the make videos and place them on YouTube bug has struck....
The idea is to do a range of videos from the basics to deep dives and maybe the odd rambling vblog.
If i need to split this thread up we might, lets see what happens.
First up today was a look at just how much current can 1.5M (15 pixels worth) of 20CWG pixel wire carry and what happens when you short it out.
A 10A auto rest breaker was used inline as well, voltage was set at 5v
View: https://youtu.be/bx2zwrlHNbA
In chat I was then asked was there a difference with 12v so the same basic setup was used to get this video

Without spoiling things to much it became quite clear that 5v and 12v strings should absolutely be discussed differently especially with respect to short circuits and the potential for issues. (fires etc)
Cheers
Phil
