Paging any "LED neon" experts out there in Fedi-land, please...? I plan on replacing the vinyl lettering in my front fascia board with fake-neon. I think probably the best way of doing this is to laser-cut the channel on MDF, paste it to the back-board, then LED strip with a diffuser pipe channel on top to cope with right angles. At thinnest point the lettering is 8mm width, at thickest it's about 15mm. Logotype cannot be changed. Any pointers please? I'm new to this! 😘 #fedihelp #led #neon

Come to the dark side. Join us. We have chocolate. Also blood. Chocolate and blood. -- More seriously, I fear these sorts of application-specific displays are going to go the way of the dodo. It's gotten to the point where a reasonably large pixel-mapped display is, to a first approximation, free. Slap one of those on top of your MCU board and you're done - no designing a custom panel, laying out LEDs, multipin connectors to run all the LEDs... and the actual usability of the things will probably tank, because then the display is "just software", and we know how excellent white goods makers are at software... #electronics #display #ApplicationSpecific #TaskSpecific #appliance #LED #hobby #chocolate #blood #DarkSide.

Also need to go look up the polarity of an LED. I never remember this. I have looked this up a hundred times. But it does not stick. #led #electronics
