Re: Wiring Ring Light?

For testing, I connected the ring light's thin wires to 20 gauge conductors from a Spike using a short section of the green terminal strip from the Kit of Parts.

Today, as the final wire routing is set on the robot, I plan to replace the existing wires entirely and use a four-conductor cable to bring power to both the LEDs and the camera itself.

What I'd really like to do is to get my hands on a supply of Ethernet jacks and mess around with tunneling power through a single patch cable from the electronics box to the camera, but that's not going to happen this year.
