The Most Beautiful Thing I've Ever Built 

Thank you for sponsoring this video!

Thanks. I DID make a video about how I made it 🙂 Enjoy... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YRvfHhS31sw.html

Thanks. Yes, they are connected in parallel. Two lines for plus and minus. You are correct, those two are connected in parallel. However the third line is actually in series. On each LED there is small microcontroller that has input and output pins in addition to the power. Output from the Arduino is connected to the input the first led, output of the first led is connected to the input of the second led, output of that is connected to the input of third led, etc. In the Arduino, there is an array representing each of the leds. The code sets the color of each led in that array, then the info is sent in series by the aptly named FastLED library. Somehow first led ingest the info for itself, then pass the remaining info the the second led, which ingest its info and pass the remaining bits to the subsequent leds. Pretty amazing really.

@@HariWiguna Thanks for the extensive answer! I was aware that the data line could not be in parallel but needed to be in series. I miss where you cut the soldered data lines. Maybe this point could be at the backside of the pcb's so you could cut when the dodecahedron is completely build? Another question: Did you install the LEDs and capacitors yourself to save some money or would you order the strips with them installed the next time? And by the way: I like watching the whole video and seeing how you solved some problems. Making these jigs was also awesome. This was the first time I saw the dodecahedron build with pcb's.

I told my wife that someone commented that I'm a mad man. She doesn't get why I was so happy about it, which I am. Thanks Dan!

No, I have never done a commissions. If you're interested, please contact me via email at hwiguna@gmail.com and tell me what you have in mind.

@@HariWiguna oh. I wasn't expecting that answer. 👍
