Dismal day and worrying times with the bloody Chinavirus so it's nice to have a little win this morning. Managed to repair the faulty RGB LED strip that's been lying around since the first Batman light where it went faulty and I had to replace the whole length of RGB strip. This means I can now get another Batman out the door because we are still waiting for last order of LED strip lights to arrive.
Fixed the bloody thing (part of Blue missing) so we can now get another Batman out the door - yay
I usually order 2M lengths and Batman takes 1,5M - leaving half metre off-cuts. Used one of those to make repairs and now have all the Blue working.
Took a while to track down the fault made very difficult because it's the waterproof.type. Can't just splice the ends cos the overall length will now not make it all the way around so used one of those off-cuts.
To protect and support I'll cover this and the other join with silicon.
Good thing I have these off-cuts.
