New Jarduino build gets started

[daplatapus]

So I ended up buying a converter from Coralux. We'll see if that works.
I've got everything hooked up and fired it up today. First time I did that with all 3 fixtures. I have run into a couple problems:
1) The TV string doesn't work at all
2) I have some voltage bleed on one fixture so 2 of the 3 OCW stars are always on dimly
3) The XML NW string comes on but it's not anywhere as bright as it should be - no doubt because of the 5V PWM signal instead of the necessary 10V PWM
4) The XML CW string runs backwards - turn it up, it dims - turn it down, it gets brighter - so it never shuts off - I have no idea

BUT, on the positive side, the cooling fans work flawlessly - something that's been wrong for a while but now seems fixed.

Here's a shot before I fired it up - I figured if it blew up and burned to the ground, at least I'd have proof of what I built, lol



And lo and behold, it actually working
