Hello all!
I'm working on a project in which my current plan is to build about 50 little LED "blocks," each with 4 LEDs on the (RGBA).
In my head, the blocks are about 1.5" x 1.5" x .5". Each needs a minimum of four conductors going into the blocks, and a minimum of four conductors going out of the blocks - as I'll be wiring each block in series of 3s. So Block 1 comes from (4) 12VDC + channels, and Block 3 goes to a common ground.
I'm thinking of the cheapest, most efficient, and most reusable way to do this. My current thought is to purchase some dual port RJ11 surface mount jacks (iofast » Telephone » RJ11 Surface Mount Boxes » RJ11 Modular Dual Port Surface Mount Jack - White) and install the LEDs on top of the boxes. Then I can use cheap phone cable to link each box together.
Just wondering if any of you brilliant folks out there have any other suggestions for modular blocks/enclosures with a cheap and efficient means of getting a total of (8) conductors in & out of there.
Thanks!
