Right! This is great, I was a bit cross-eyed reading it at first but now I am putting in the numbers and they are all coming up and it's all making sense.I believe the Duktig stove top operates on 4 AA, alk. batteries which could be operated from a 6V power supply or if 12V is
available then a buck converter adjusted to 6V . Would need to know more about how the burners are switched and dimmed.
Lili, where are you getting the " neon rope" from, as they might also carry the Adafruit SMPS, 12V, 5A with euro plug.
Best that I can do on parts:
Switch. Rota-Slide, DPDT, 1/4" x 1/2" shaft, Mouser # 611-H20207RR01Q, L 4.80
Pot. Alpha, RV24AF-10-15F-B5k-LA; 6mm D shaft. Mouser# 313-2441F-5k; L 1.72
Pot. Mouser # 313-2441F-50k; L1.7
Transistor. TIP 120, Darlington 5A, 60V, TO220; Mouser # 511-TIP120, L0.507
Wire 22AWG, stranded, red. Mouser# 474-PRT-08865. Black # 474-PRT-08867. Each L 2.34
Length, spool ??
Thanks Bernard, it's ever clearer. So last thing, if I buy all of those items do I also still need to buy the neon rope separately from Adafruit?Lili, if you use the white & red " neon" rope then you need a 12v supply. Each meter needs
about 10W, add in other 12V requirements & V shifted loads like surface burners. As suggested last year a 12V @ 5A supply should work.
A buck converter is not needed for stove top burner if continuing to use batteries.
Two wire colors are suggested to distinguish between positive & negative. Most items are polarity sensitive.
Bernard, you rock and I hope I am half as clever as you at 53!! No please, it's not you. It's me I am a COMPLETE noob to all of this. Before this I could barely tell the difference between volts and amps and still amd clueless about transistors and resistors and other simple electronic stuff so please don't think I'm insulting you when I say I don't understand, it's solely down to my understanding nothing to do with you.Lili, one possible way to mount the pot & switch is to use the long knob shaft adapters and mount them on a sub sheet metal panel which is then screwed to the back of the wood panel. The wood panel is drilled to fit the knob adapters, and slightly recessed to clear the nuts. Align the anti-rotation tabs so that in the off positions the knobs face in desired direction.
Lili, do you have a multi meter ? If sometimes I do not seem to make sense, remember that I'm
93, can't walk a straight line, & my memory has hickups.
As for surface burners , buck converter can be added later.
Adafruit probably has the "neon" rope now, Mouser maybe late next month.
You’ve learned quite a bit from Bernard. You should be proud.Bernard, you rock and I hope I am half as clever as you at 53!! No please, it's not you. It's me I am a COMPLETE noob to all of this.

Yes I do have a multimeter. I think what I'm going to do is this. Order the stuff you have suggested including the wire. I hope to have the money to go to Ikea next week, there I will buy both the kitchen and the Lederg. Once I have done those things we can go very slowly you can tell me what I need to do with what? Is that okay?
Coool. Okay, I am going to order all of these things plus the other stuff. So it'll go quiet while I wait for stuff to be delivered. Thank you so much for helping me get to this point Bernard. I REALLY appreciate it. (((hugs)))Just in case, Power supply, 12V out @ 5A, Mouser PN # 184-903-0126-000, L24.94; same price as Adafruit's .
Plug adapter, Mouser# 552-RP Kit-R, L 2.38: 4 pieces, US,UK, Euro, Australia
Yup learnt a lot from Bernard because he didn't ghost me. It's amazing what you learn from someone when they stick around to help you.You’ve learned quite a bit from Bernard. You should be proud.
The wood is already there, when I get the kitchen next week/week after I'll be able to measure it all.Not on list:
Knobs
TO-220 mounting hardware, Mouser# 534-4724, L 1.72
Euro terminal strip, 8mm, 10 circuits, Mouser # 538-39100-1910, L 2.66.
" Neon" rope?
With TO-220 hardware the transistor can be mounted on POT-SW mounting plate which is then the heat sink.
" some wood"??, might refer to panel above oven door, of which we have no dimensions including material & thickness.
This project is getting really expensive.
Thank you Bernard! Yes we're all excited, due DecemberLili, I guess that congratulations are in order.
More questions. Do you have the 12V pump? To accommodate a water reserve tank the dish washer compartment could be shrunk to 12 in. deep with a panel. A tank on the bottom, 12" x 2.5" x 6" =187 cu. in. =about 3 liters. Space above could mount the power supply & other fixed equipment like buck converter?
