Re: 19,008 LEDs on the wall, 19,008 LEDs

I thought you guys might like an update on the project:

I finished soldering all the LEDs on Saturday and spent Sunday mounting
all the boards.  Pictures of the size of this thing at the bottom!

All 19008 LEDs have been tested.  Not a single LED was bad.

Here is a picture and weight of 39584 LED legs: (yes, I saved them for
the purpose of weighing them.  ;) )

1565g!

Here is the display from the front:

I have to admit, its huge.  It wasn't so big in the drafting program on
my computer screen!  Even I only discovered how big it was after all
the LEDs were soldered and I was placing them on the table for
drilling.  WOW...

They're attached to an 81x34.5 piece of 1/4" plexiglass.

So, did you think this was really going to happen?  ;)
