This final week has been spent on many hours of code debugging and adjusting to fit my array, wiring the power and ground correctly to all 500 LEDs, and realizing the LEDs have a data in side and data out side (seems extremely obvious in hindsight).

Polish & Present… more like failure week
This week was less of an aesthetic focus than I would like and more of a mad scramble. My 42×34″ acrylic panel completely snapped in half forcing me to purchase a new one and redrill all 500 holes again. Nightmare.
Everything Working. . . Not Quite Yet
This week I have been making progress on my final installation. It is not fully functioning yet. I am currently finishing up the mechanical build before moving on to the wiring of the LEDs. Currently I have a polycarbonate sheet that I am about to drill 500 holes into for each of my LEDs to…
Failure, Recalibration, and Iteration – Ping Pong Wall
This past week as I was waiting for my parts to come in, I got my hands on an ESP32 and began learning how to solder the pins onto the board. I have very limited soldering experience so I followed along with a YouTube video.
Maquette – Ping Pong Wall
I know very basically how I am going to attack this problem. As a proof of concept using just what I have laying around, I have created a mini ping pong ball light feature using 1 LED and 1 ball. It’s not much, but it does demonstrate exactly how simple this project can be when…
Concept Proposal
Ping Pong Ball LED Light Board Programable array of LED’s that are inserted into Ping-Pong balls to diffuse the light. I’m thinking of making this either a wall piece or attaching a piece of clear acrylic over the top to turn this into a coffee table. I have no experience programming LED array’s so all…
