Building the pillars

Post date: Nov 10, 2014 2:39:48 PM

I've started making the pillars. Each pillar is constructed of 8 RGB LEDs soldered together via three tinned copper wires. I need to make 64 pillars in total, so they can be arranged in an 8x8 grid. I designed and built a jig out of superglued LEGOs to keep the bulbs lined up and the wires straight. It also speeds up the process and makes soldering very easy. Each pillar takes about twenty minutes to complete, which means it will take a while to make them all. I currently have 13 out of 64 pillars completed. Hopefully I can get the majority of them done this week. Please enjoy the animated gif of the process. Its time to solder!
