Re: [motm] Connector survey

2000-12-17 by Dave Hylander

I think it's more like 26 if you use the average module requirement of 20 
ma and Paul's safety factor of not using more than 65% to keep power supply 
heat down.  Those of us who have installed Dave Bradley's mod for LED's for 
the 800's have to tag on another 5 to 10 ma per LED I believe.  I'm using 
22 as max on my setup (lots of extra LED's:)
