HARDWARE

Here are some details on the wooden case used for this project. The overall parts are shown below.

**(1) Main housing, (2) Back panel with USB power input, (3) LED matrices hookup cable, (4) Lid with Rpi attached, (5) Glass panel, (6) Feet, (7) LED matrices holder, (8) Screws.**

The LED matrices are held in place using particle board with cut outs for each matrix. This sits in slots behind the glass.

**Panel for holding LED matrices. With one matrix removed.**

The front of the LED panel is painted black to minimize the potential for any light to reflect back out.

**Front of LED matrices panel, painted black to minimize reflection.**

The LED panel and glass sit in slots.

**Close up showing LED panel and glass sitting in slot cutouts.**

A Fritzing file is included in the repo which shows the wiring connections.

**Fritzing diagram of wiring connections.**

Everything gets hooked together just before closing it all up.

**Everything assembled and ready for closing up.**

And then it's ready to go.
