Project: XPS Ground Effects

[The boy 4rm oz]

-But that does not mean I'm not working on another idea for this comming winter.....

I like the sound of that.

This is a sweet project idea. I kinda want to try something similar but behind the LCD screen for when I watch movies at night.

Well, I've been working on the prototyping boards with my friend to test the circuit. here are a few shots.

-Sorry this is kind of slow going. Once we have the circuit tuned and adjusted, we can design a Custom PCB board and order it. Then solder the components on to it. but for now, Its a mess of wires.

-It just occured to me that with 10 rbg leds requiring 4 wires each, thats 40 wires that will have to fit into the small box. WOW

You got the light working yet?

[rendermandan]

Yes, We've got the light working. My Friend is working on gettting all the lighting effects programmed. I'll try and get some video of it up later.

Here is a video of what I have so far. The green is a little dim, so we will have to increase its current. I also will have to difuse the light by sanding the led's a bit.
