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

2004-10-17 by Richard Brewster

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.
