The Giant LED Dance Floor, built for Furnal Equinox 2017 over the course of 11 months.
FAQ
Q: Do you sell these or make these?
A: No. This was a passion project and we built just this one.
Q: Can I get step-by-step information on how to make one?
A: No. This project is for demonstration only. You don't want to make one exactly like this because it has a lot of mechanical and electrical problems. I would classify this as a prototype only.
Q: What part did you use for the switch?
A: It's a generic OMRON microswitch.
Q: How thick is the acrylic?
A: 1/4" or about 6mm of semi-transparent white.
Q: Where can I see this floor?
A: We use it every year at Furnal Equinox. It was last used in March of 2023.
