Subject: Re: [motm] adding 5V power to existing system

Yup. Got my power supply distribution wire at Advance Auto Parts.
Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I don't trust hand-crimped spade lugs. I
crimp by hand and then solder 'em. If I had an industrial quality crimp
tool I might have a different outlook. All I have is the "squeeze hard
and hope for a good connection" kind.
