1How to build the DiscoBall from triangles?
Here are major steps to build a DiscoBall from the triangle modules.
-
2Trim the edges of each triangles.
All the triangles comes with mouse bites in a panel. Trim the edge and make it smooth and even.
-
3Solder LED to the top of each triangles
These WS2812B-2020 LEDs are not that difficult to solder. The four pads are big enough for manual soldering.
-
4Connect a pair of triangles with LED soldered - Tape
Tape a pair of triangles. The top side with LEDs is facing down. Three through-hole resistors are used here. Match the side with O (output) with the side of I (input). Square to square.
-
5Connect - solder and bend
These through-hole soldering is easy.
-
6Connect - cut the wires
Here you have to estimate of the cut.
-
7Connect - solder the other three.
Get the right triangle out and these wires into three via-holes of the right triangle, which is vertical. Now move the right triangle into the horizontal position and align it with the left triangle.
