Yeah... the crimp type are a different animal all together. They have a nice wire stripper for it that will only strip back what’s needed.

My LED’s are spaced fairly evenly, so I wasn’t too worried. I have a row of LED's on each side, with clusters down the middle of the heatsink. I have the sensor centered width wise, but slightly offset length wise, so as not be directly under the fan. I also heat shrinked each leg on the sensor, then placed another heat shrink over everything, so that it covered up all of the legs, and what part of the sensor that was sticking out of the heatsink..... Hope that makes sense. (The sensor ended up behind one of my clusters)

Just as a bit of an update, and to show I did indeed listen to you Mike here's a shot of the connectors and how I was able to stretch the wire insulation down a hair to protect the pins:

I got the new boards in today with the built in pull down resistors. Here's what they look like:



And with the order they also sent me 2 of these boards. I have no idea what they're for but if either Chris or Scubasteve want them, let me know and I'll send them with your boards.



And if you guys need any 10K resistors for these boards, let me know too as I have a bunch of them as well I can send with;

I just received the same boards too. Still missing the screw terminals and jumpers.
