Since I&#8217;m not using any high power LEDs or strings, a DynaOhm is all it needs, making the transistors that would normally be required unnecessary.  If I want to use a high ppower LED, there is plenty of room to drop in a few transistors on the board and connect a harness for the LED.  The pixel strip is covered in a strip of white vinyl tape because staring at those things will make you blind!<\/p>\n<p>One thing I didn&#8217;t note is that the power source is an old mobile phone battery attached to the bottom.
