Train Day!

w/Rob Fair 6-7:30pm 1.5 hrs.

Jordan Osborn off tonight.

Rob Fair starts at the workbench.
Our goal tonight will be to finish the electronic board for the street lights in Chicago North.

There are two terminal blocks.
One for the positive and one for the negative.

Both terminal blocks need to have a strip that ties them all together.

We came up with a brilliant idea.
We used 1/2" staples to tie the terminal block contacts together.

Here's the finished product all put together.
Since the lights are LED rated for 3V I had to use resistors so I could use a 9V power source.
I will use the two terminal blocks to the right for the positive, and the one terminal block on the left for the negative.

Rob Fair under the table installing the panel.

Mission accomplished.
Next week we'll wire up the street lights and hopefully start to attach to this electronic panel.
This next step will probably take two sessions.
