| Rear Logic LED display | ||||||||
| Below are some higher res pictures of the logic display all wired up. The LEDs aren't glued in yet because I'm not sure how much I want them to stick out if any. I also have to decide how the board will mount inside the dome. | ||||||||

| This is the layout I used for the LEDs. The top one is all the LEDs in position. The grey sets below it are which LEDs light up with each of the 8 outputs.
I wired them in decending order, so the top one would be output one, the next output two, etc..(not that it matters with this PIC flasher, it randomizes the order sequence). Each strand is wired from left to right. When the two LEDs were spaced far apart I used slightly longer wires. If I did it again I wouldn't use the amber LEDs. When the thing is running I can't tell the difference between the ambers that I have and that reds. The yellow LEDs look more like what I thought the ambers would. Also pictured is the layout I that I'm working on for my front logic displays. I haven't started on this piece yet though. I priced the super brights, and figured it would be about $130 for just the LEDs. |

| Here it is as viewed from above. You can see in this shot the two power inputs. The board runs on 9 to 12 volts dc. But each strand consists of 13 -14 LEDs. You need about 1.8 volts per LED. So I have the LEDs powered by a 30 volt DC power supply for now. | ||||||||

| I have yet to decide how much the LEDs will stick out if at all. I like them flush the best. I tried sanding one flush, but it changes the color a bit. | ||||||||

| You can see the mass of wires in this shot. I used a teflon coated stranded wire. Looking back I could have varied the lengths of the strands more. Each strand having progressively longer segments of wire so that the wire doesn't have to be so packed in. | ||||||||
