This is a series of experiments with 3d lighting elements built from PCBs. The physical pixel layout is basically a spiral from (arbitrary) top to the opposite bottom.
The dodecahedrons with 20mm and 27mm edges are big enough to hold a LiPo battery and charger + WS2812B controller, and I’m working on an icosahedron version. I got some assembly jigs made, but with the later versions with tabs and slots, the jigs aren’t as necessary.
I’ll update when the modules are working. They feature 6-axis accelerometers for sensing movement.

You are selling products somewhere?
These were inspired by cube mood lamps, based on LED rings, that someone was selling at a maker’s fair. I of course decided to do one better.
These will probably go into globes stuffed with some kind of diffuser, glass wool or similar. Need to come up with a mount for the USB jack. Or maybe without a globe, cause they are kinda of cool to look at and hold. OTOH, the problem with items for outside is always the enclosures.
Anyway, this project is very much a work in progress.
Prototype icosahedron (= 20 faces), and then stuffed inside a plastic sphere with (somewhat dirty) insulation as padding/diffuser. I should be able to do that better. I’ll also try with 120 degree lenses on the LEDs.
