O/T.................
funny.. what I ordered was above.. what they sent is:
Quite annoying.. when one has a specific goal.. and this one has no plug.. got an extra??

Yes well now it is only 8 left so..... 18 for all 8 + shipping
You'll have to look around locally for the female shrouded connector. Radio shack sells arduino kits, so maybe they'll have some.O/T.................

Anyone have any suggestions on how to mount the O2Surplus 6-up boards to a Makersled?
Also curious what type of wiring people with large-ish LED rigs are running to their heatsink. My planned setup uses 70 LEDs driven by 11x LDDs on 2x Meanwell 48V power supplies and dimmed by an Arduino-based controller. So if I mount the driver boards on the heatsink I'll need to run 8 wires for power and 5 more for PWM dimming from the stand up to the heatsink. Any suggestions on what type of wire and/or connectors to use?

I've thought about doing that, but the $35 price tag made me stop. LoL
No kidding? I can see spending $13! Well make that $130- I just scored 10 of 'em! Now all I have to do is redesign a few of the LDD-H PcB's to use them.

"No problemo" How many LDD-H do you want on the PcB? From the Meanwell 12V reg- I'll add the typical 3 pin connection for computer cooling fans,and another screw header for powering an Arduino ect..
I could have it ready sometime in the next few days, if that will work for you?
I'm all for saving a few bucks, but these little Meanwell dc/dc convertors have had me intrigued. They are such an elegant solution for $13, that I have to give them a try.
If you could make a board with 4+ LDD-H's I would be :fish2::fish2::fish2::beer: :celeb1:

i have not built a single led fixture yet, and i already have two diff sets of ldd boards.
at this rate 02 is re-designing fabs faster than the led manufacturers can create new leds, which is a good thing. there has to be a point when we will be like, that's it, this is the go to board for everything.
now if we can just get a nice led layout and have an aluminum pcb designed, we will be golding. (hint!, ahem, hint!)
also for those interested, i found these heat sinks:

Okay, I'll make it happen!
