AlexI did just orderd the last missing parts. Now everything should be ordered to built one (or two perhaps)! I did also ordered a SMD stencil for the first time. With this the solder paste dispensing should be faster and better. And only the LEDs do have 512 pads. For the PCB I did chose black solder mask this time to get high contrast to the LEDs.

A project log for 384:LED
Mini (1.44'' x 0.94'' or 24mm x 37mm) 8X16 RGB LED Array. 128 RGB LEDs with three LED chip each gives 384.

I see, it's good to know. Thanks.

What files did you use to produce the stencil? The reason why I am asking, in my 12-13 years of PCB design I saw stencil only once. I have no clue how they are produced. Thanks in advance for your answer.

I did just upload the eagle .brd file at OSHStencils.com That was it. Quite easy.

I want to stand behind you and breath in your neck when you solder this! Or you could film the complete progress ;) Really looking forward to see this LED matrix in action!

I hope that it will be finished until Belgrade. I am not sure because there is also some software to be written, but taking this to Belgrade would be awesome.

almost always when you write something like this, it's done by tomorrow, so we'll see ;)

First I have to get the PCBs. They are not here yet. So tomorrow or today is impossible.
