Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 what kind of boxes does everyone use if they use the hobbyist products? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I saw a tip on here about the Orbit sprinkler boxes. I picked up 5 of them on sale in October for $18 each (from Home Depot I believe). They are the perfect size and are weatherproof. I've had lots of luck with them.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 OK, I'll bite. Where did you buy those parts?I Really like that setup! I understand the fuses. The amp meter, is it just inline with the AC input, and the power indicator?Perchance, do you have a picture of the back of the front panel? (that sounds funny;))One of the things I hated when testing my 'showtime' boxes, was unscrewing the front plate to jumper the cat 5 cables. Did it many times. Who makes a waterproof connector?Thanks.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I would also be interested to see the wiring on the fuses and meter.The connector at the bottom of this page is about the cheapest waterproof cat5 connector I've located. $10.99http://www.teletronics.com/Accessories.htmlThis is totally off topic, but I ran across it when I did a Google search for outdoor cat5 connectors. A usb missile launcher, how cool is that?http://www.cyberguys.com/templates/searchdetail.asp?productID=13430&ta=prod_info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I like that WP cat5 connector, I bought similar ones a few weeks ago for $6 each. I will KIT . I am slowly working on a Nice schematic for my boxes so I can post it. I am going to be putting alot of attention on this kinda stuff after new years.
