Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 How much work for the PC-CTB16PC?Like a million screws? Or just a half hour of drilling and screwing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 It all depends on how yur mounting it.If you are mounting it in a LOR enclosure there will be less work than if you mounting it in a custom (you design) enclosure that will probably take longer. If I was starting from scratch and used a LOR enclosure it would probably take about an hour to assemble and wire. I'v also done it a few times now so there's no learning curve.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Razor, is your question about mounting the board or actually buying a kit and putting it together? If it is the latter, the kits deal mostly with soldering.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Im talking about the one without soldering.I just want to know if it only needs to be mounted or a few very few wires connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I would suggest Reading the Product User Guide on the LOR Support Page. It helped me alot.http://www.lightorama.com/support.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I am far from being handy...I usually have leftove parts when I am done putting anything together. I got the kit without soldering and it was very easy! Took maybe a half hour for the first one and less than that for the second.I mounted them in the LOR cases that were provided.Good luck,Whitey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 First: Laid the 16PC (with low power heatsink) on mounting plate to mark 8 holes.Second: Drill the holes. I used 1/8"3rd: Mount. I used 8 standoffs (from a PC104 kit, but any will do.)Total time was les than 20 minutes.I'll add a picture if you wish.Now wiring took a couple hours. You have to crimp the ends and add your electrical connection on the other end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have only missed one episode out of all of them. I sometimes wish they would test the myths more thoroughly before saying the myth is busted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of it is lost in the editing process, but still, it's amusing and at least gets you to thinking about things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
