[QUOTE="Avolow, post: 3594381, member: 50962"] OK, so here is my progress so far with the warp engine lights. [media=youtube]4puv8CA6TcY[/media] So far I've left this on for an hour or more without any issues. While building the board I had some issues with resistors getting blistering hot so I had to increase their values witch in turn changed the capacitor that I had to use. I am new to the whole building circuits thing, so this was a couple hours of frustration. With it all built and inside the closed up area of the warp engine there is still a little warmth to it, but nothing I would be concerned with or would not expect from a motor left on for the same amount of time. I really wish there was a way to run the wires from the secondary hull to the warp nacelles, but I don't know what wire to use. I am going to look into some 30AWG wire and see if that would work, I would really like to just have one circuit board control everything than one in each section of the ship. My mail thing is the limited space in the pylons. I would need a wire small enough to fit 13 wires through the pylons (1 12 volt wire for the LED tape, 10 2-3 volt wires for the bussard lights, 1 3 volt wire for the end cone light, and 1 ground), but good enough that it would not have any issues with being hooked up to the 12 volt 1 amp power adapter I have for use. I am looking at this stuff at my local Radio Shack, but cant seem to find a clear answer to my questions.
