How do i go about adding led strip lighting to the Accessory port on the eb832? This is the light i ordered,

Do i just need to cut the supply off and solder the + and - to this

Good link there from Crabs. Note though that the LED strip you linked to is nominally supposed to run at 12V and the EB832 is 24V. Not sure if it would fail to work or just be extremely bright.

Canceled that order and ordered a 24v. Thanks for the link @Crabs Mcjones. Did you guys see the other thread for plugging in the DIY optical sensors into the DŌS/ dosing resivor. Might try that next.

Hey @Crabs Mcjones. Got my lights today and connector. Why is the new 24v dc accessory not showing up under my outputs. Have it plugged into the eb832. If I take my pmup out of my fmm and plug the lights in they work when I turn my Ato switch to on. If I plug the pmup into the Eb832 I can’t find that either.

Check in your additional tiles, the little lock icon at the top. I think by default the 24v ports are hidden.

ChaseBurke · Jan 25, 2019

Yeah I have. Neither the pmup or lights show up when plugged into eb832.

Figured it out. User error. Still learning on this thing. If you go into the outputs, display 24v, click on one it gives the address. And for some reason the tile was already on my home page. So it wasn’t showing up as a new tile. ;Facepalm;Facepalm;Bookworm

Sorry I missed this, been a busy afternoon. But I believe @garbled is correct. Select the lock icon and your unused tiles can be added to your screen
