Express without heatsink question.
« on: November 27, 2016, 08:34:36 pm »
My non pixel side of the show id dying down.

I have 2 Expresses left, one with a heatsink, and one where I haven't found my heatsink for it yet.

If i finish building the 2nd express without the heatsink, can I still run it with about 0.3 amps per channel?

It has the same current carrying capability as the SSR4 per channel without its heat sink.
If at first you don't succeed,
your not cut out for sky diving
