Connecting cathode controller?

dan-fish · 24 Jun 2011 at 20:50

hey guys i just bought some cathodes for my computer and they're all working perfectly fine. I also got a little controller with it which i believe fits into the back. But i have no idea how to connect this. I will try to upload some pictures later. But i believe it has a slot for the actual connection and another 2 slots for the cathodes. How can i connect this controller with the inverter?

Any help appreciated!

without actual images, i can only give you my best guess - i imagine it is similar to a fan controller

i.e. the controller plugs into the power source and then the cathode into the contoller so that the coller is between the power source and the cathode so that it can control the voltage

Probably not the voltage, but some have a sound sensor and a switch.

Thats takes the place of the inverter. The 2 pin is obv for the power to go in, and the other 2 is the out for the cathodes.

Out and In must be for the soundcard passthrough.

soundcard pass-through? cathodes that react to music? cool

well i tried connecting the power cable that goes into the inverter and it doesn't fit. looks like it needs a cable which wasn't included.
