10/18/2023 Map Stopped Working?
Visit this post for the fix
Hey all. Working on number 2 and 3 maps and trying to build better than map number 1. One of the issues i faced with number 1 was connectivity of the wiring from pi to all other components. So I’m curious as to how others connected their boards without any problems afterwards (no looseness and etc). Please and thank you!
I found the most solid way was to solder the connections, especially for the level controller. Adafruit sells a solderable proto board, https://www.adafruit.com/product/1609,
This provides a very robust way that can be moved, bumped or jarred.
Others have used connectors, especially for the powers and ground connected the LED's and RPi to the power supply.
Finally, a few have actually designed circuit boards to handle all this. Here's a link to the thread that discusses this option; https://www.livesectional.com/community/postid/180/
Hope this helps. - Mark
