Jazid wood screws have a slightly more corse thread than a self tapper plus they are made of a harder material, as for the washer they will be ok.

Stayhigh have a look at the CK picture on page 11 and you will see he has used counter sunk screw heads, they just hold the LEDs without going over the board too much. Look for 3mm fiber washers on eBay you can get some for a few quid, failing that some mentioned making washers from oven read meal packs as they can take some heat also maplin do shake proof 3mm screws that have o rings fitted. HTH

Nearly done just have to solder the wires to the driver should be done tomorrow. So if you hear a big bang and see a mushroom cloud over southport area tomorrow that will be be connecting the battery. 8O

You can’t rush a good job! :wink:

Good idea v8

Well bh I can now see the copper that’s under the black covering, and was just checking the circuit found the middle screw had earthed one of the LEDs. Removed screw and could see a small scratch will have to find fiber washer of some sorts.

I’ll go check it out sc-xc

Sandwich I’ve tried that and had problems, it was something to do with Version 10.5 and Version 10.6 clashing?

Be careful of the black covering on the LED’s as Ive scratched mine and earthed it :oops: . Just test your connections with a multimetre first.

Done

Ive had the £19.99 one for 3 years it’s still going strong, haven’t even regreased and it’s seen some s@it…..oh and been pressure washed a few times. Good value for money.

Just picked up my cheese parcel 8)

Sounds like he’s the big cheese :roll:

Been looking for a camera for my archos 605, what does it record like EG?

I’ll do it for £15 and a jar of beetroots.

Get the local scouts in on bob-a-job!

Dunno pump 2 might be better.

EDIT PUMP 2

I’d get THIS just to pi$$ the next door off IMO

Morrisons hire rug doctors, think there the cheapest. HTH

Done three solders today….CLICK CLICK for some help.

Got a flash back to the pots
skiing down a slope! :lol:

bobblehat cool post but its a bit complicated for me think I will just see how things go with this build first an take it from there.

TBH I can’t remember it was nearly 10 years ago, they send you out a folder and corse notes you read them, I think you have access to a tutor, and basically have your test for that module if you pass it you get your next module. Just found it hard going.

Just thought I’d make it an even 400 posts 8)

Try THIS does a good job and cheap as chips.

I tried one many years ago, never worked for me found night skool better.

Didn’t know he had a blog?

Try plugging in your ethernet cable and try setting it up. I had the same problem last week and it had been setup on my network, for a printer, for a few years with no issues up until I reset the wireless router. Took me over four hours to get it going think it was trying to link up to other networks in the area.

steelfan thought you mention the heat sink. Yeah you can get thermal glue on eBay there’s a link on here somewhere.

Figure of speech Gary

Was going to glue it on, haven’t noticed any holes to use a nut & bolt. Thermal tape may come lose if it’s bouncing round?

Know enough and stand by my comment

Trout what did you use to insulate the heat sink from the terminals on the driver, as it must get hot and don’t want to use something that might go on fire or melt.

Its not a HOAX WTF as we know the mother. :|

Got to Tesco or the asda pre cooked save messing.

What about that rubber matting they use on play grounds?

Inner tubes…..end of :D

Marine ply or checker plate(that’s if you can use the plate with a horsey)
