Lining up a new project for this year's Wooly Fair in Providence, which will likely be a massive (8' tall?) pixelated lamb where each pixel is a discrete LED panel (3"x3" or so), perhaps touch-sensitive for color changing. This should be a fun one!
Built a hacky model so I could better visualize the 'pixels' of the sheep, and the wiring that will live within.
I'm thinking that I could hang individual LEDs in the middle of each section, and have it display on both sides. #LED friends, do they make individual neopixel LEDs that are in the bulb form? I saw some at Adafruit but would prefer not to pay a dollar a bulb.
Bonus content: check out my friend's ceramic, wood fired flasks!
During last night's Wooly worknight, I made a test cube to determine if I'd have enough luminosity from a single #LED diode about 3" from the diffusion material, in this case printer paper. I'll have another diode on the other side, back to back, but I'm thinking I'll need to use two on each side instead of one. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-32k1MzmHXQ
Started construction on the LED Lamb guts. I was worried the jigsaw might not be precise enough, but with tight measurements, it's going to do the trick. Each cell will be 5' square. #LED#wood#woodprojects#woodwork 🐑
