The laser cutter in Unity was working, so I was able to laser cut my acrylic, I’ve attached a picture below. As well as using the laser cutter, my addressable LED strips are now working with the Pixelblaze. I soldered a phoenix converter to the pixelblaze, and then was then able to plug the LED strips directly into the phoenix connector with no additional connectors. I then took the LED strips wired used for power and plugged them into a power converter. To power the converter I cut open a power cord and plugged the live, neutral, and ground wires into the converter accordingly. As of now everything is working fine, I just need to assemble.
Your cuts from the laser cutter look really clean am I am excited to see the finished product with the lights behind the acrylic. I don’t see you having too many issues with your power supply.
Ooh looking good! Can’t wait to see it lit up.
Do you have a plan for what colors/ patterns you will be using? I assume some purple and gold at least.
I didn’t really like how the gold looked, but definitely a lot of purple.
The cut on the acrylic looks really good, and I can’t wait to see it with the LEDs behind it. Also, I am glad connecting the LEDs all went smoothly. For the LEDs what patterns do you plan to put on them?
I plan to use either solid colors or smooth transitions, just so I can leave it on for a while and not have to deal with the distraction of bright flashing lights.
I think the design of Kobe came out really cool. The way the colors shone through the holes in the acrylic was interesting. I liked the color cycle of the RGBs too. I think a yellow and purple color cycle would look really good too.
