Re: Radiator Wire Figure "ART". Tutorial

Use Telecom wire, its plastic coated, make a staple, poke it through and 4 twists tight will hold it in a few places. It does vibrate and will cut the Radiator or rattle apart a dud solder.

Re: Logo Lites USB Charge Port

You need to make sure the outlet to the plug will recognise 6v and deliver the 51/2v required. Isolate the plug.
