Woohoo! Progress. After several days of fiddling and fooling around with some code issues I finally got my Arduino running the code. Turns out the V1.1 code isn't Mac compatible and I've been trying to do this on my computer. Had to move over to the wife's. Here's the board up and running:


and a close up of the screen shot:


I'm able to navigate through everything, set the date and time. I still need to get me some tall header's to be able to stack multiple prototyping boards so I can wire up my temperature sensors and future Ph sensors as well.
My LDD drivers are shipping on the 29th not the 26th like I thought. I'll also be getting my HLG drivers for the XM-L LED's.
I'm excited!.

LDD's and HLG driver officially are en-route via DHL. Good thing as I hear a few other suppliers who had gotten shipments have already sold out again and the eta on next shipment is Arpil

Shot in the dark but... Did you order any extra LDDs? Long story short, I need three more. I'm going to be putting a mouser order through but thought I'd ask!

WooHoo! I got my LDD drivers today and my HLG drivers as well. Man, I didn't think these LDD's were quite that small.








Hey Chis (Chatouille) PM me your details and I'll send you those drivers you needed.

Ha! And I didn't think that HLG would be so big! It's huge!

Haha, yeah, it's gonna take up some space, especially considering I'll have 3 of these 42V's and a 36V.
Well, I couldn't resist doing something since I'm home sick with the flu today. I get bored pretty quick, lol.
I soldered up one of my boards with the mounting clips for the LDD's and everything looks good.


I'm wanting to steal a bit of power from my power supply units so I got some HRD DC converters. But they come stock with set resistors and I want to switch them out for variable ones so I can adjust the voltage I need depending what I want to power up. For instance my Arduino , my cooling fans, etc.
So here's the converter I have:


and the back:



and the variable resistor I'd like to use:



Any insights as to how to wire the variable resistor is greatly appreciated.
