DIY - 5v LED ribbon strips for BobsCNC Router Z Spindle Mount - with on/off rocker switch

Warning - DO NOT PLUG in the whole LED ribbon strip as it may draw too many mA. Cut to 9 diodes before testing on the Arduino Shield.
This video will show you the connections I made to run a 5v LED ribbon strip (cut in 3 sections of 3 diodes each), which gets its power source from the 5v output pin of the Arduino Shield. This also shows you how I placed a 3Pin DC12V 20A Round Rocker Toggle Switch for manual ON-OFF when the USB is plugged into your PC / Laptop.

very Nice!! I may have to do this. I would likely just run am extended usb to my laptop or some other secondary source, but i love this idea...

Or you could simply do a usb splitter as well.
I've since found that they make both straight and 45° clip connectors if you don't want to soldier. Good luck my friend.
