During each trip, I kept my phone with me at all times, and even next to the bed at night, so we'd be accessible if you called or texted. As you traveled to and from Saudi, I typed my "Welcome to (wherever you were)" text, so I didn't type something weird when I was half-asleep and you updated me as you reached each stopping point along the way. I admit to (again nervously) bursting with pride when I told others, "My 29-yr-old son is the only tech on-site for the 7th most powerful computer in the world." I realized you had co-worker help a mere click away, but YOU were the only hands-on person there. AND I prayed nothing major would go wrong while you were! :) <br /><br />It sounds like you learned a lot and made good use of this opportunity.

I'...Hi James, thanks for reading and commenting! I'll confess it's REALLY gratifying to hear my write-up was helpful!<br /><br />Some answers:<br /><br />Regarding the 12V wire around the gate: I had trouble fitting the wire through the space around the top chevron (due to the locking/unlocking mechanism), so I actually ran a separate 12V wire for each side of the gate. But, if you're able to make it fit, yes, one 12V wire around the entire gate would be the way to go. And then yes, an individual ground wire for each chevron, coming out the bottom. PS, make sure to clearly mark which wires are 12V, so you don't end up with 11 wires sticking out the bottom of your gate after gluing everything together and having no clue which was which (not that I speak from personal experience or anything...)<br /><br />At the risk of being overly verbose: my Dad suggested (and I followed his advice) soldering all nine sets of three LEDs first, with wire tails coming off each end; then I twisted each chevron's LEDs into a little loop and super glued to the LED holders from <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2795518" rel="nofollow">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2795518</a>. (there's a photo of this in my blog post). I test-placed one chevron at a time (starting at the top), and then measured the length of wire I needed for both ground out the bottom of the gate, and 12V to the next chevron in the circle, and soldered that way. Once all the solders were done I went back and started glueing things in place, again starting at the top.<br /><br />I used male/female jumper cables (a couple inches long) to connect to the PCB, so I could detach the gate *somewhat* easily if I needed to. That said, it's difficult enough to attach/detach the gate it's unlikely I ever will, but, I "could". The ground and 12V wires from the gate then go into the female jumpers and I used a lot of electrical tape to keep 'em there :) You could use headers instead of jumpers, BUT, the space under the ramp is very limited so I'd suggest using the short jumpers instead. I'm sure you already noticed, but just because it wasn't immediately obvious to me I thought I'd point out too that Glitch's base has some nice cable-management slots built into the model.<br /><br />Yes, binder clips are for test-fitting, particularly the spinning inner ring. Oh my goodness what a stressor that was. And then I also used binder clips to hold pieces while the glue dried. I used superglue but I think if I were to do it again, I'd use hot glue, to make the bonds slightly less permanent.<br /><br />I'm excited to see how yours turns out! If you want to add even MORE to your gate, Hummerfresse in Germany took my write-up and also added a 12V blue LED strip inside the ring for a wormhole effect: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/make:777042" rel="nofollow">https://www.thingiverse.com/make:777042</a>. I asked him about it and he said he added the LED strip in parallel with the ramp LEDs, though, had to change the ramp-LEDs' SMD transistor "to another with min. 500ma.... for example an BD139." He notes it's "tricky soldering a normal transistor to the smd pads. but it works." So, do with that information what you will! I'm hoping to add it to mine someday.<br /><br />Any more questions, feel free to ask! Otherwise, best of luck, and keep an eye in a few months, as I'm working on Glitch's Atlantis gate now and plan on posting a very similar set of documents for that one.

Had a fewquestions if you dont mind. <br /><br />When wiring the LEDs in the gate, is it a single 12V rail wire around the whole perimeter and then ground wires for each chevron out the bottom? <br /><br />When connecting all the leads to Boogles control PCB, did you solder the wires to the pcb or did you use headers to keep them removable? In all the photos between yours and his I cant get a clear look at how those connections are made with all the wires all over it. <br /><br />Am I right in assuming the shots with binder clips are you holding segments together for testing before final gluing? <br /><br />Again, love how yours turned out and this write up will help a TON. Even plan on using your modded code for its extra functionality.
