Update on Drunken Octopus Wiring Guide:

I've added the BTT002 to the Drunken Octopus Wiring Guide.

Update on BTT002  Mini Conversion Project:

As I mentioned a few posts ago, I am trying to convert a Mini to use a BTT002 V1.0 board from BigTreeTech. This would have been a straightforward upgrade if it weren't for the BTT002 having 5V fan outputs instead of 24V fan outputs.

I bought a 2x Dual Channel 5V OMRON High Level Trigger Solid State Relay Module For Arduino thinking it would allow me to bridge the gap, but on wiring it up I learned this was a wrong part on two counts: first, the relay is a "zero-crossing" trigger relay, which works only for AC loads; and second, the BTT002 switches the fans on the low-side, which means that a "high-level" trigger relay causes the relay to be on when the fan is at 0% and to be off when the fan is at 100%, which is the opposite of what is needed.

I'm now trying my luck with a 2-channel DC-DC 1/2/4/8 Channel SSR Solid State Relay Low Trigger 5A 0-2V for Arduino L2KD, which should correct these two issues. Alas, the part ships from China, so my project is on hold until it arrives,  possibly in October.
