Hi, so this year I decided to get myself an e682 which arrived a few days ago and I am looking to get nice case for it, that will hopefully fit a standard power supply next to it (either a computer PSU or the typical 30a 12v style PSU's that many seem to use).
The board is 4x7inchs so (102mm*177mm) and PSU's are usually 5.9 × 3.4 × 5.5 in (150 × 86 × 140mm) for a PC PSU and the typical wireityourself style psu looks to be around 216 x 115 x 50mm. CG1500 seems to be one option but I cannot find it in Australia, I live near Cairns, QLD so being waterproof is absolutely vital since I am between the 2 wettest towns in the country.
Also looking for a decent place to get some cheapish but decent 12AWG wire or thereabouts. I'll be running 12v pixels and possibly 5v ws2812b strips (unless someone can link me to individually addressable 12v strips that will run on the e682!).
Also are there waterproof connectors for 12AWG 2core that are fairly cheap and people use a lot here?
I do have 305meters of 14/020 6core security cable which I could use but I couldn't find the exact AWG of it to know the current capabilities, anyone know exactly what size it is? I believe it is around 21AWG but I'd like to double check with others. I believe it's around 45.2ohm/km.
I plan on running about 10meters of http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/50nodes-DC12V-WS2811-LED-technicolor-pixel-waterproof-full-color/701799_922175400.html which I am guessing is 30mA per pixel with all 3 colours lit up? Using power injection at both ends of the cable with the 14/060 cable and 3 pairs, I would guess that the power drop for 10m would be 3amp * 0.452 = 1.356v / 3 = 0.452v loss if powered by one, would I be halving that if both sides are injected? So 0.226v loss? Using 14/060 wire in 3pairs for power transmission, what power injection spacing would you recommend?
Thanks.
