Here's something I've been working on in my spare time - the first of four planned displays.
It's still a work in progress, the lights REALLY didn't work how I expected them to and have some new LEDs on order.
The box is 11.5" x 11.5" x 6", and supposed to have cut pieces of metal along all corners. Just glued on at the moment but may drill screws in to keep them on in the future. Honestly, I was amazed this box came out anywhere near rectangular as it was my first time using my jigsaw on wood/plexiglass/metal.
The graphic is sandwiched between two layers of plexiglass, one transparent and the other darkened to help obscure the graphic when deactivated.
The other consoles will have blinking segments, I ran with this one first to test overall construction and prototype proof of concept before I get into programming sequences.
Everything is run off an Arduino Nano and a 12v power supply.
