After all panels are drilled I took some of them on my summer vacations. I used the early hours in the mornings to start finalizing the panels. To finish one out of the 48 panels I need one hour which means that I have to make the production more effective. The process is like this:
- Glue all the LEDs on the panel.
- Pre-solder all 6 pads of one LED with solder
- Cut copper wires to the length
- Solder the middle DATA coper wire and cut it
- Solder the GND and the VCC wire
- Add Connectors
There are two different sizes of Panels. Some with 32 some with 36 LEDs. In total it means:
9600 pads to solder
1600 LEDs to glue
500 gramm solder
200 meter of copper wire
192 connectors
96 cups of coffee
48 panels
4 bottles of glue
