DC-DC converters and Pixels.... If you haven't tried it yet.. some notes

[plasmadrive]

I got asked a lot about using DC to DC converters because that is how I powered my Plasma Icicles last year.  I think the converters are the way to go for many of us..

 

anyway, here are my thoughts.. hope they are of some help to others.https://www.dropbox.com/s/5yxqw7q2p7ygp27/DC%20to%20DC%20rev%201.pdf

 

BTW, I used these because they are waterproof and they regulate very well.
