So i decided to make a unique present for my gf and at the same time do something i quite like doing, electronics and lights
Im half way through making a star map of her birth sign that should hang on the wall and can be turned off and on via a remote control as well as dimmed
progress so far
template of the constellation stuck on the back of some 5mm black foam board mounted in a wooden picture frame
lighthouse leds wired in parallel
and suck into the stars that make up the stars of the the actual star sign. they are wired up to an IR led controller connected to a 3A AC>DC transformer..the ir controller will eventually be my harmony 1100
the front of the build off
and on with a terrible phone pic
i still have to obtain a fibre optic xmas tree, strip out the fibre optic part and use this for the little stars
all the leds are cold white to give that real star look
