Tested with an Airconception Nitro 200 Delta frame.</p> <p>While you can use the connectors that came with the strobe kit, I opted to replace them with the red JST connectors since they are smaller and I didn't need all the connectors that were included.</p> <p>The strobe leds came with poor quality solder connections. I re-tinned all the solder joints.</p> <p>Box Attachment</p> </li> </ul> <hr/> <p>The controller box doesn't have attachment points. You can glue these ziptie adapters to the box to allow for easier mounting.</p> <p><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3525269">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3525269</a></p> <h3> Power Switch</h3> <p><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3471327">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3471327</a></p> Category: Sport & Outdoors
