PLX 08 Mirror Ball

Outline

We intend to construct a mock-up electronic circuit consisting of LEDs within a mirrorball.

Construction

With the help of Ricky managing to get a mirrorball we could chop up, we split the mirrorball into three sections using the pyrograph. This way easily done as it was hollow. On each of the three sections we cut 7 little groves so we could sit the LEDs flush in place. They were held in place using LX tape to allow us to solder the bell wire onto the ends of the LEDs. This process was repeated for each of the other sections. We thought it would be a nice idea to incorrporate a sequencer within the mirroball so the LEDs would flash on and off as fequently as they liked.

We have done it so we have 3 seires circuits, with 7 parralle circuits within each series, please refer to the diagram below.
