Go to Post Failure is in my eyes, the key to success. If you can deal with failure, look it in the eye, and conquer it, the hard stuff won't really intimidate you any more...and you can only get better. - Andy Grady [more]

Those are very nice, but we never have open PWM slots. We do have open solenoid connectors though, and this 16 foot long strip works beautifully:

Be careful though, it's near the upper rule-legal limit for total wattage. The rule is 21W for the 4 slot crio solenoid breakout, and this runs 20 mA * 100 * 12V = 24W. You can trim leds off the end to make it match whatever available wattage you have. It's bright as all get-out. You can see one here:

(it's much brighter than shown in the photograph)
