MoreIn this final step of building the FTIR prototype I will cover the soldering of LEDs. In my previous blog post I already calculated that 30 LED’s would be enough to cover the entire plate. As power source for my [...]
MoreInspired by other FTIR prototypes I decided to use an aluminum frame. The main reasons for are because its cheap and strong. Before actually working on the frame, I made a drawing in AutoCAD. Within this drawing I could easily [...]
