Here is the working 16 segment display. The board has 27 LEDs (5050). For the led diffusers, I reversed the 3d design and used translucent filament. No glue is needed, the diffusers can just be pressed into the case, they fit perfectly. Still experimenting with the thickness and quality, I started with 3mm, low quality (photo). Probably I will end up with 2mm diffusers, maybe with 3mm spots just over the LEDs.
If all LEDs are set to max brightness, the display draws about 1A. I’m planning an 8-digit word clock, so I will use a 10A power supply to be on the safe side. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
