one rgb pixel…
So I soldered up the LEDs on some protoboard for something a little more permanent and to get them off of the breadboard to make room for other things.
Here’s the soldering job – a little messy, yes, but it works. there are 2 red LEDS, 2 green and 3 blues. The blues are not as bright as the red and green and 3 seems to be a nice balance.
This is how it looks from the top. They’re all aiming at one spot above them…
They’re aiming at the bottom of this 35mm film can. That way the colors mix properly and I don’t get an errant blast of color off of one side. There’s a bit of seperation still, but that’s pretty much eliminated w/ yet another diffuser.
By putting this over the film can I can get a really nicely mixed and diffused color that is still very bright. Also, instead of having a bright spot of light at the top of the diffuser, the glow seems to eminate from deep within..
next I need to come up w/ a halfway decent base and some code fixes… till next time…
