[QUOTE="HomeY, post: 1063559, member: 68365"] Need some more advice guys (I'm such a noob when it comes to powerstuff...) :D I've ordered an Arduino Leonardo and my [URL='http://www.ebay.nl/itm/4m-240-RGB-LED-Strip-schwarz-mit-WS2812B-5050-SMD-LEDs-WS2811-Controller-WS2812-/370889737039?pt=Bauteile&hash=item565ac0434f&_uhb=1']LED Strips[/URL]. Now i need some more material to connect the strips together (corners) and a power supply. Technical specs of the LED Strips: [ATTACH=full]145538[/ATTACH] So max power consumption is 3.6A per meter. I've got 4 meters so i assume my power adapter should be able to handle about 15A right? :confused: what about the cables to connect the strips together? should those also be able to handle 15A?? I've been looking at adjustable adapters which can output 5V, but most Amps i find for those is [URL='http://www.conrad.nl/ce/nl/product/406337/']4200mA[/URL] so i assume i'm calculating wrong?? :whistle: Any advice is highly appreciated :D [/QUOTE]
