Initial Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I started by whipping up an initial design for the LED enclosure. The idea was the have a front panel that can help direct and diffuse the light for the LED’s and a back panel that holds the electrical components and my phone: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then switched over to trying to get my LED panel working, which become a nightmare-filled weekend.

Re-Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
