I finally found the time to solder all together an to write a small test program for the Digistump micro controller. It's just changing the brightness and a few color combinations, but it works. Now I have to optimize the software for my bases, so I can switch it on and off, change the color … Continue reading RGB module for my LED bases

I corrected a few issues in the design, but created a few new ones :(. Never mind, I took the chance to try a few paint technics with glue, toilet paper and acrylic paint. Not perfect and a little bit too much, but the next one will be better :).  

This Weekend I laser cut the first parts of the Word-clock. Mounting all together. First test run of the multiplexer  

It was not the plan to do it like this, but it was nearly impossible to solder these LED's by hand. So I used a plastic sheet and my laser to create a stencil. A few years ago I bought a 20$ oven that should be transformed in a reflow oven, but like other projects, … Continue reading SMD Reflow Soldering (had no choice)

I always had the idea to build a "WORD CLOCK" for myself. Most designs are flat and somehow always the same. I wanted to design mine, slightly different. This is just the basic idea, but I think I'm on the right path. 3D designs done in Sketchup 8.
