Here is something that might be of interest: https://www.finnleyelectrical.com.au/what-electrical-work-can-be-done-without-a-license-in-australia/#:~:text=Within%20Australia%2C%20the%20following%20electrical,Changing%20light%20bulbs At least you are allowed to change a light bulb. :) In...

You may want to look at this guy: https://www.wemos.cc/en/latest/d32/d32_pro.html You use an SD card with an so you wifi does not get overloaded and cables are not needed. Then check out this firmware: https://github.com/forkineye/ESPixelStick There are individuals that run their entire (big)...

Yes, I missed the "low".

You could wire the two buttons in parallel and use only one input. The input would not go low unless both buttons are pressed at the same time. If the two buttons also perform other functions when pressed separately, then this won't work.

I got a small heat gun from a store on Aliexpress similar to what you ordered. It was inexpensive and puts out more heat than a hair dryer. It works great on heat shrink. I have also used it to put together 3D printed parts where the fit was a bit too snug. To be honest I just got tired of...

Something between a Mini and a Maxi perhaps.

You could buy or perhaps rent a conduit bender. The manual ones are relatively affordable compared to electric drive ones.

It was just a thought.

Items larger than can be printed can be designed in parts. They can have joints that interlock for accurate fitting as well as being glued together with epoxy. Post finishing can make the joints invisible if needed. Lots of big stuff is built that way.

If you are looking for a 3D printer check out: https://www.creality3dofficial.com/ I saved well over $100 on the model I got.

Perhaps this may be of interest to some. I was looking for a terminal adapter for the Wemos Lolin D32 PRO. I wanted to be able to easily remove the controller should it be necessary. I was not able to find such an adapter. However I did come across a video where a fellow used a Nano terminal...

The purpose of the fuses is to protect from a downstream fault. If there was no fuse and there was a fault, a short to ground for example, somewhere in a pixel string the current is limited to the output of the power supply. This would not only damage the pixels upstream of the fault but could...

If you connect several power supplies with V+ not broken, aren't they connected in parallel? I must be missing something. There are Meanwell power supplies that are designed for current sharing and some that are not. I doubt that most of the cheaper power supplies offer the current sharing...

Thank you for this information. I suppose it assumes only one power supply. I tried to find contact information for the site but there appears to be none. When V+ is broken this is due to another power supply being added. You could treat each new power supply section separately as it does not...

There is an interesting "PIxel Light Power Calculator" here: Pixel Light Power Calculator It shows you graphically the voltage drop and allows for multiple power injection points. It might be useful just to get an idea of what may happen in a particular design.
