Week of 5/16

This week I made a lot of progress on my lightbox. Starting off the week I finished the cad design for my lightbox and I printed out the middle spacer. It printed fine and fit perfectly with the standoffs I had intended to use.

After printing successfully, I then moved onto the panels which I lasercut after. I cut them out of the wrong material at first and it was too thick for it to work so I recut it with 1/8 inch acrylic and It was fine.

I then painted the edges of the bottom one balck and the entire top one so that you can look in through the bottom and see the electronics. All of the physical parts were done so I moved onto the elctronics.

I set up everything on the breadboard being able to control color and brightness successfully, and started to model the schematic in fusion. I only got that far and have not made the pcb yet.

Lastly I soldered the Led strip and mounred it sp that I could test it out to see how it would look and everything was as it was supposed to
