Day 15: Thing 15: 8×8 Led Array Panel (Another thing that Goes Blink in the Night).

Yesterday I went to Tap Plastics and bought some resin after working on the programmer (yesterday’s thing).

At dinner last night (which saved me from pulling my hair out for the entire evening trying to get virtual pc to flash the xbee modules from my mac) I was complaining that I have had a problem engaging the current zeitgeist and writing new (poly punk) music. It was suggested that perhaps it was because I was too focused on things that go blink in the night.

So today built an 8×8 panel using cat 5 wire with the insulation trimmed back. After experimenting with the resin I was able to cast this using the mold that I made wednesday.

I am relatively happy though it is a little time intensive.
