Our vision for Colordance is to have a "dj surface" for controlling the lights. These controls should be easy to use, and facilitate making the lights go to the beat of music. We designed a hexagonal podium.

The podium is built from 3/4" plywood. It uses 3D-printed corner brackets.

On the top of the podium is the control surface. There are 14 buttons and 2 sliders. The buttons use custom PCBs for the LEDs and the switches. The buttons caps are printed clear PETG, and the button frames are HTPLA. These mount to a piece of plywood, which attaches to the podium via four captive bolts.

We know that we'll need to make some changes to the interface, so for Apo we cut the top panel out of 1/8" hardboard.
