updates coming soon…. lots of new projects

Lots of wiring on the back.
Icosahedron, part4.
All the led modules mounted, strung together and attached to a raspberry pi…
And with diffusing paper installed:
Icosahedron, part 3

Making a new cube
Big updates to my site
After years of neglect, I finally decided to add some content to my site.
I’ve made several nice electronics projects, and I’m going to upload pictures and descriptions for them. Maybe even some source code…
Check out the 3d led cube, the LED tower and the GM70 amp in the projects part of the site.
