Guess what this is going to be

A couple of you know already, but i’ll make this a fun little game for everyone else. If you want, of course.

What am I making here?

I will give one hint: there will be twenty rows when it’s done.

I won’t tell you if you’re right until it’s closer to done. :slight_smile:

OMG is there a lot of soldering!

Paneled LEDs wall?

Can i ask why you don’t just use 30/m LEDs? It looks roughly spaced like that or whats the spacing between leds?

I cut apart an addressable led strip. They are spaced as they are because those are two inch square cells and the leds need to be solidly in the center. The cells will become important as i continue to build it out. The spacing isnt perfect but it’s pretty accurate and good enough.

I guess there are other options but i had ws2812b leds on hand and they fit the bill nicely.

Yeah I meant there are strips of 30/m ws2812bs which is 1.3 in spacing between each led but if 2" is important then good luck with the soldering! I’ve been there and its rough lol. The other option could be to use bullet style 2812bs which is what I use for my work. Saves a lot of soldering, but adds height to the project which is avoided by using strips.

Ah, I see. Yeah, that would have avoided some work, but the spacing is important.

Look forward to seeing it when its done! Love leds.
