I have 2 skull kits I'm attempting to put together. Do I want to keep the ssc-32 near the laptop or by the skulls. The skulls will be about 30' from the laptop. Is Cat5 cable what I should use? What is Cat5e? Does it matter which? Then I need some kind of sockets but I don't know the correct name. I watched captn Jack's video on YouTube and he just called them Cat5 sockets. I guess I want to put this all in a project box type of thing so there is one cable coming out of the skull to be plugged in to the box thingy. Is all this obtainable at a store like Home Depot? Or do I have to order from an electronics store?
Then, since I didn't purchase the complete kits, I got a separate 5v 30 amp power supply from GYS but I just have a 9v adapter thing that I found at the thrift shop have to wire up. Um, I actually thought the power supply was going to have an electrical socket that I just plug into. I don't really understand any of this wiring but I saw the color code and the video from captn Jack. Must I solder? Should I use wire nuts for anything?
I've been pouring over the huge 3-axis thread, but all this is overwhelming to me.
