## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA402:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA402:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

If you want to connect multiple EL wires/strips/panels up to one inverter, these splitters are quite useful. There is one male connector (goes to the inverter) and then 4 female connectors (which will connect to each wire/strip/panel. You can even cascade them! Only thing to watch for is make sure that the **total length** of EL does not exceed what the inverter can drive!
 
 **These are for EL only!** EL is 'AC' powered so there is no 'polarity' on the wires - the polarity of the pins may not line up right if you're using with anything other than EL. The wires may be 'swapped' on the 4 ends - so be super-aware of that.

## Technical Details

Using EL wire is a little tricky but luckily Adafruit wrote a detailed step-by-step tutorial!
