Wow! This thread is still alive! :eek: As an update for everyone, I moved to a new home on 20 December 2010, and had to rethink everything. I ended up finding a good source of 5050 pixels, and some nice plastic ping pong ball type diffusers. I used them indoors on our white artificial...

Happy Birthday!

Hello all! Just a quick note to say thanks for this forum and all the wonderful members. I have been a member of DOITYOURSELFCHRISTMAS for about 4 years now, and have had an automated display for the last 3 years. I currently have 160 channels via the older XMUS Ren16 board and a 2 panel...

Hi all! I guess I kinda got off track... I'm just looking for the best RGB LED to use in a ping pong ball type diffuser. I'm stuck between the 5050 or the 8 mm pixels sold by Ray Wu. (Leaning toward the 5050 right now.) The matrix will be 10*17, 6" on center, which would make the matrix about...

Thanks Henri! That's a lot of good info.

I agree that there could be some issues with structural integrity after you pop a hole in a Ping Pong ball. But I read on another site somewhere that he used an egg carton to help hold the balls while drilling, and that seemed to help. Some sites recommend just using an Exacto knife to cut an...

Thanks! Just be aware....Ping Pong balls are not UV resistant. They will break down and turn yellow. (Even in storage.) That's why I still have to think of a way to easily change them, or find a comparable type of diffuser. (Opaque Plastic Christmas Bulbs?) But in a pinch, they'll do the...

Hello everyone, I wasn't sure if I posted this in the proper forum category, so if I'm wrong, please move. I'm looking for suggestions on the best RGB LED to use a Ping Pong ball as a diffuser. My idea is to create a matrix of about 10x17 (170 pixels) and enclose the pixel in a Ping Pong...
