Idea: if the acrylic was raised slightly away from the underlying grid, allowing a little bit of light to escape through, the light bleed could mask the dark spots caused where the grid is touching the acrylic. The distance between the grid and the acrylic could be adjusted so that a balance is found where the light bleeds enough to cover the gap between "pixels", but not so much that it bleeds significantly into the next pixel over.

Hey Scott! Me and my brother got a Raspberry pi 3 and made your matrix board, we did however make it a 10x20 grid and programmed it so we played tetris. Pretty cool huh? The most tedious process was the hole drilling by far. The wiring got to the point of just being a routine and we took turns making it. It was totaly worth it and we really like your projects. Good luck with future plans
@HypherNet 5 жыл бұрын
If you use 30 LED/m LED strip, you can just drill holes in the backing material for the LEDs to show through and use strip for each row, only requiring soldering for the row connections. In your case, this would reduce the number of solder joints by a factor of 20.

That's what I was wondering as I watched this... using strips is a *LOT* easier. The only drawback to using strips is the LED per meter density is what sets the size of your 'pixels' as the spacing is preset... still, saves a *ton* of time and it really isn't hard to figure out... this seemed way overly complicated.
