Product Information

Like the base corner, the pad polarities are indicated by + and - with the center pads being for data. If you remove the mirrors and LEDs, then you’re just left with a plain old dodecahedron, like this cool folding project . You should remove any adhesive backing, and tin the pads (I didn't do the tinning, which was a mistake).

One way mirrors on the faces of the dodecahedron bounce the light from these LEDs around within the shape, creating an infinite space illusion within its walls. I ended sandwiching it between two pieces of plywood and cutting it with a fine-toothed jigsaw to prevent cracking. com, the Sell on Etsy app, and the Etsy app, as well as the electricity that powers Etsy’s global offices and employees working remotely from home in the US. The assembly steps and connections to the control board are the same as found in my Pixel Mask instructable here.This is also essential if you want to change my code, because the guide is the easiest way to figure out what LED is where.

If your LEDs run on 5V, your can wire the Arduino directly to the power supply, if you're using a 12V LED strip you will need a DC voltage converter to get to the Arduino’s 5V input voltage. Fold the input power wires over and solder all the positive wires to the positive terminals on the first 3 LED strips. I had 7 strips blow up on me when testing during the soldering phase so I’m telling you from experience.You may have seen various "infinity dodecahedrons" or other polyhedra across internet, such as here, here, here, or here.

This is fine if you're going to a festival, or are going to hang them from a ceiling, but if you'd like to put one on a desk or a shelf, it's probably not going to be very practical. OBJ files for the 3D prints have been provided but I urge you to try and design your own, I had a lot of fun designing this project and learnt a lot along the way. For the power cables I used 20AWG 1mm single core wire, 510 LEDs draw a lot of current depending on the pattern so I wouldn’t go with anything thinner just in case. By default the buttons are disabled in the code, you can enable them by setting "BUTTONS_ENABLE" to true.For example, 1 is the beginning of the strip, so the section holds LEDs 1 - 7 (actually 0-6 in software, sorry! Before you begin applying the strips to the dodecahedron, it's important to understand the corner PCBs.

That is, make sure the data is connected between the two correct strips, and that the positives and grounds are correct.After the faces are cut, you can sand the edges flat using any course sand paper, they don’t need to be really smooth, just flat.
