PSI

Well r2 needs lots of lights. I didnt take many pics way back when i started the electronics. But here are a couple of shots of building the Teeces 3.1 boards. Wow thats a lot of soldering!


I didnt know where to get the "flangless" LED's so had to use a nail clipper and cut all of the flanges off of hundreds of LEDs ... uggg.. wanst too bad actually.

Next i needed a way to mount them. I first milled out some PSI spacers from 1/8" aluminum. 

Next i got a couple properly sized pvc fittings for the housing. 

and last cut some oak rings and sanded a taper on the rings so they fit very tightly with the curve of the dome. 

Here it is turned on. As you can see i need some more diffusing so the lighting is more even.
