Regarding Joel's Comment about LED choice
Hey Clint,
Nice ploycarbonate! - thankfully i already have that sourced here in the UK. I just want to ask for your comments on LED selection. I have looked at the ones you selected and im very tempted to go ahead with the same�? im just interested if youve had any other thoughts since you made your selection. I think the "origional" one used 3 seperate LED's but this seems like alot of work to me!
Any comments?
Keep up the good work!
Joel.
Would I pick the same LEDs ? Depends on how much money I'd want to spend. I like perfection so I'd take a different route. I'd most likely create a daughter board system with surface mounted LEDs. Here I'd have to research for the spread / brightness / power consumption of the LEDs but I'd probly end up with 4 corners and maybe a Red, Green, Blue LED or maybe a combo, I don't know. Research is needed for that. Along with seeing how big of a spread I need for the LEDs.
I'd also switch up how I did my wiring. I'd use ribbon cable and something like these types of headers, but single rows. I didn't know about the connector that can be used on both ends when I initially started on the dance floor project.
