Expanding my sign with 16x16 addressable LED arrays.

 I am expanding my sign with 16x16 WS2812B Addressable LED arrays.  Currently I am at 3x5 of these arrays but am working on adding three more for a 3x6 or 48 by 96 sign.

This is the built in demo with a T8000 controller.  I had more luck with the SP801E controller.


Here I am starting to add the grids to make the pixels square.  The grids are on thingiverse.  I drilled too many holes in the luan because I confused the orientation.  They need to connet from top to bottom.

This is another picture of assembling the arrays.  I am using E-6000 glue to hold them in place.  I glue two or three at a time just in the corners then put something on them to hold them in place till the glue dries.

Here is the first video with the T8000 controller
