Falcon F16v5 Assembly
This year I’m adding a new Falcon F16v5 pixel controller to my display.
In this video we prepare a Cableguard CG enclosure to take a Falcon F16 pixel controller. We drill out holes for cables, we mount a fan in the cover of the CG1500, and we install cable glands and ethernet bladders.
