Re: CANLight - A CAN based LED strip controller

I'd be curious how you determined what connectors to use. Truth - they seem kind of random.

That being said - How did you like working with the XT60s? I've been meaning to pick some up for a project?

The 2 prong CAN connection is an odd choice since none of the rest of the CAN bus cables use that style connector, was this a cost saving measure?

That being said, screw terminals seem like the perfect connector for the LED strips.


I'll also second an interest in potentially purchasing without the lights (i have a bunch of strips already).

I'd also like to ask about how they work - if I apply power to the controller and no CAN signal will they retain the previous state for the lights? IE - are these set and forget or do I need to set them each power up?
