LED Art Project Is Geometrically Beautiful
Chris joins the ranks of DIY enthusiasts who prefer crafting their own LED wall art over purchasing expensive commercial options available online. His creation is not just functional but also sleek and stylish, showcasing his ingenuity and craftsmanship.
Opting for a geometric design, Chris employed a random number generator to generate a layout using preset segment lengths arranged in a random manner. He then developed a set of plastic adapters to connect pre-cut lengths of aluminum channel, enabling him to assemble his chosen design with ease.
After completing the frame, Chris meticulously laid LED strips into the channels, carefully planning the circuit layout to ensure seamless connectivity. A Raspberry Pi Zero W was chosen as the control center, tasked with orchestrating the LED strips to illuminate in various colors according to Chris’s preferences.
To enhance the aesthetics of the piece, Chris sanded and painted the frame a uniform grey color, concealing the joins between the 3D-printed components and the aluminum channels for a polished finish. Additionally, he meticulously mapped out the LED locations within the frame, allowing for dynamic animations that traverse the structure, elevating the visual appeal beyond standard color fades and flashes found in commercial offerings.
