    Thanks, I'm off to google that chip (no idea what it is). I've also seen talk about using a 74HC595 (never met that creature either).


    EDIT: Google says TPIC6B595 can sink up to 150mA at 50V. JLCPCB carries them at $1.54.

    Google says 74HC595 has a 70mA total limit, so there goes that chip. JLCPCB has them at $0.11 too.

    My Creality Ender 3 S1 Plus is a giant paperweight that can't even be used as a boat anchor, cause I'd be fined for polluting our waterways with electronic devices.

    Not as dumb as yesterday, but stupider than tomorrow!
