LED Strips and Other Club Business

We had a good meeting last night. Discussed:
  • 3D modeling PhD thesis, presented by Peter, who promised to provide a link
  • laser harp progress - Sauyon has the stepper motor stepping, Nathan has a good idea about the MIDI configuration, Cosmo is thinking about the 3D printed chassis, and Peter volunteered to research low mass mirrors
  • The Tech Challenge - yes, we want to participate
  • strip LEDs
We investigated a strip LED that cost under $5.



The strip can be cut at every third LED, so each maker took home about a meter in length.


To power it up, the makers had to look up the operating voltage, found a 12V power supply, measured the pinout, and then wired it up.





Alas, Peter left before we took photos.
