Building the Frame/Mount & Screen Support:

Okie doke, after a nice expensive trip to Bunning’s...for Bill...($128), we had all the necessary aluminum supplies to build our frame for our system.



We used some cool elbow joiners to connect the base and legs of the frame…

And for the part that would hold the screen, we used the same material, only it has a lip on it so we can easily rest and secure the acrylic onto it…





NOTE: Lucky we made the screen acrylic because we did drop it from about .75 of a meter and it did not have a scratch on it. We will be 50 X more careful in the future.


We then needed to cut the pieces of u-frame that would support the acrylic, hold the PCB and LED’s and make the system look neater…this ad to be done carefully as we needed it to be as accurate as possible…









So hopefully you can see our vision starting to take form now, well part of it anyways.

here are some more random pictures of us building the frame...
