Re: I'm going down again, and I'm prepared with lots of stuff...

The biggest thing needed nowadays is just people who want to jump in a game and have fun. There seem to be new server ops showing up regularly, and new levels also. What's missing is people just enjoying being in game. There must 30 servers up on the trackers, and most of the time the only players ...

Re: Epic Games kills off Unreal

Don't understand why they would force them to be removed. It makes no sense. I still have Unreal Gold and UT99 GOTY in my GOG games list, and I can still d/l them (just tried). Same version as what I already have archived. Yet again, I keep telling people...if you like it, save it, because they *wil...

I did all the calcs with 17.2V, per the drivers spec. Unless that LED array website is just tragically wrong, I need resistors to run the arrays. I can't mix and match the number of diodes to negate the need for resistors, because I will have a certain amount installed in each light fixture. The LED...

I wasn't planning on building an adapter, no way. :) If there are no stealthier adapters other than a wall wart then I guess I can make do.

That kit looks perfect. Thanks. I wonder if I can bump that up to 12v. I'll be powering 72 LEDs (480mA) as well as this circuit.. Not sure if 9v will cut it?
