Soldering LEDs - Part 1
Since the last post, we have been taking our time to cut and solder neopixel strips into segments of 60 LEDs. Each segment is 1M long. Because the FadeCandy can only support upto 64 LEDs per channel, we thought it was best to work with 5M neopixel strips, and make them into 5 segments, thus loosing 4 pixels per channel, but being able to evenly cut up the strips...
For each segment we are cutting down the strip, then soldering about 3ft of wire to the input of the strip. After it has been soldered, we then test the segment. Once the segment passes the test, we then hot glue the end of the segment and where the wires are soldered with the hopes to keep the playa out of RetroMan.
Lets see...
~7,500 LEDs per panel @ 60 LEDs per segment = 125 Segments..
