Soldering 242 LEDs on a FlexPCB

Behind the scenes in making one of my next projects! This flexpcb will eventually fold into a Sphere! 🤞

This is sooo dope, I'm so glad you're documenting these experiments

[dwplsk]

Interesting pattern design of the heater

[projectjabir]

This one like that mars rover insight ❤

[ShahZahid]

this was so satisfying to watch also is that a new pcb hotplate :)

[dennisdekoster]

Wow, what kind of leds are those? They look great with that crystal type of transparency

[AzaBC]

Curious, what LEDs are being used? They don't look like the usual WS2812B 5050 or WS2812B-mini 3535 that most LED strips/panels use sourced from lcsc.

Is there a full video or infomation on this?

[Scott_C]

Re: my comment from the other video. I'm fairly confident you could turn this into a spherical actuator. :D

[IcannaHelp]

What kind of power can you push thru flex pcb?

I have some 20, 000 leds that i want to use to make lights, some 10, 000 are on 4 led 'chicklets' small 5 terminal boards . Any ideas on how to solder them and group themto a powersupply? Thanks!

[therealholyromanempire]

What are soldering with? Nice work by the way!

[AzaBC]

Carl, it's just border line evil of you to show off such a cool PCB design at a time when PCB fab is on hold while the workers take a deserved break to celebrate the new year.

[RainbowSheep_was_taken]

How did you solder the LEDs with hot air without melting them?

[floz.]

Looking good! What brand are the tweezers? Have seen these red ones several times already :) Might be good ones

[DrTimmay]

Wait, that reflow plate has an open hardware logo...?

[slavokozar]

How is the new hotplata working? Will it be a kit?

[masonp]

Next make a circuit that spins and displays words

[benjaminsteakley]

If you can build that then you can build a robot and a program to do it for you

Reason to off lighting then the remaing light might be easier to determine is it a reason for replacing better by time cleaning and the I want to switch that light off when the sun sets . True it is dark the readinit us dark is the sun is not in the sky it is in New York. . To say no to want to switch off lighting and allow nature nit a interpretation of fantasy it is off . So the meter switches off breaker unit off . The insects are angry switching off the tirches helps that anger energy source .well one light is a beavmcin fir the Dr

Ah yes a dual core MCU for bunch of LEDs I was wondering wasn't possible with esp8266
