You can solder the strips to both the top and bottom side of the PCB, I found the bottom to be easiest because the wires are out of the way.

I originally thought that I might use a different controller for the dodecahedron, so I made the hole for the USB port large enough to accommodate different controllers. Download all the files and place them in a folder named "PixelStrip" in the libraries folder of your Arduino install directory. Thread the cables from the power supply and your LEDs through the holes in the side of the box, and either tie them in a knot or clamp them in using the 3D printed bracket, this is to prevent the wires from being pulled out of the delicate electronics if someone trips over them. If you are experienced with cutting acrylic you could try to cut them by hand from an acrylic sheet.To do so you need to make 2 small wishbone shaped wires for each vertex, see the images attached for reference.

Customize your own modification of the LED Infinity Mirror Dodecahedron Cloud installation: arrangement, size, amount of dodecahedrons, etc. These are more or less the same as the more common WS2812B (aka Neopixel) LEDs, but are more compact. The solution [Hari] came up with was simple, just duplicate the signals on each end of the PCB, so the data out signal can be tapped from either end, as required.

The final step of this intractable is to install the mirrors into the frame of our LED dodecahedron.This allows you to see what your lighting experience will look like and how it will elevate your space/brand. On some sections, the arrows point away from where the next section begins, for example on edge 15 to 16. Try to avoid getting epoxy on the faces, especially the pure acrylic sides because you can't use acetone to clean them.

One way mirrors on the faces of the dodecahedron bounce the light from these LEDs around within the shape, creating an infinite space illusion within its walls. For example, 1 is the beginning of the strip, so the section holds LEDs 1 - 7 (actually 0-6 in software, sorry! This does waste one LED every length, but it allows you to solder on the full solder pad at each end rather than a half a pad and makes soldering much easier.Skip on to the next step and begin soldering the corner PCBs in place, adding strips to the dodecahedron one by one as you go, following the guide. Such a risk exists and is based on the fact that currently the production technologies of wires and LEDs are not designed for constant flexion/extension of soft structures.

If you have never worked with WS2812B style LEDs before, taking a look at the Adafruit Guide may be helpful.We do not have the right to send them in accordance with the rules of international transportation). From unique lighting products for your home to captivating custom lighting installations for businesses, we do it all. The effects aren't individually labeled, as it's hard to describe them with just comments, so you might have to do a bit of hunting.
