Pixel Controller in CG-1000 Enclosure

[David_AVD]

Here's a quick video on how I mounted my pixel controller and DC converter in a CG-1000 enclosure:

Din rail is definitely a nice way to go. I've been thinking it'd be nice to have my boards so they mount direct to some sort of pan. The few boards I've seen mounted on 3D printed plates have always looked cool. I have 1 here somewhere that AussiePhil printed up to suit my 2811DC boards.
This is the first time I've really had a look at a CG1000. Do these boxes rely on a labyrinth type edge rather than a neoprene or similar seal?

 

[David_AVD]

There is no soft seal at all. The ledge design seems to be very effective against rain. I haven't specifically tried blasting it with the hose from all angles.

would be great to see a video of it with say a psu and a falcon in it.

 

[David_AVD]

Sorry, I don't use any Falcon controllers. The CG-1500 does have room for a Falcon board and 350W PSU. Troy fitted one out with that combo I believe.

 

[David_AVD]

BTW, there are other boards out there (and uses for a box) so fitting a Falcon board is not always a must.

OK, here's the video I made, just for @Benslights

Hey David I have a spare Falcon F16v3 if you want to borrow it for a video ??

 

[David_AVD]

Nah, it's all good mate. After the confusion between a Falcon and a Chicken I'm glad someone didn't ask me if a Raspberry pi would fit !

Well does a rPi fit?

 

[David_AVD]

Well does a rPi fit?

Yes, but the result was a bit of a mess.

How many channels can that chicken control David

How many channels can that chicken control David

None of mine unfortunately as it crosses the road as soon as it's activated. Maybe I need to put it over there first?
