This is not as much an instructable as a record of how I made a school project. While repeating exactly what I did will probably not help y
ou, this project can be modified to make almost any display more eye-catching.
Step 1: Come up with an Idea
Step 2: Generate a poster design
Step 3: Gather tools and materials
Now the fun begins.
You will need:
-Clamps
-A saw
-Some sort of marker or sharpie
-A straight edge
-Tape (scotch or other clear variety)
-Soldering iron
-Solder
-Desoldering bulb
-Wire cutters
-Needle nose pliers
-Vice grips
-Wire strippers
-Electrical tape or heat-shrink tubing
-A backer for the poster (I used masonite but stiff cardboard or sheet PVC should work)
-Sandpaper (medium grit)
-A microcontroller
-A power source
-LEDs
-Resistors
-Jumper wires
-A breadboard to test it all
…and a partridge in a pear tree.
Don’t worry, it sounds like more than it actually is.
Step 4: Make backer
Step 5: Sand down the edges
