There be Lights Here!

So I decided to take it upon myself to make a set of rear logics. I didn't think it would be too difficult... HA!

Here's the pile of stuff to start it all.

To start I stuck the LEDs into the PC Board according to one of the various templates available. Once they were all in I kinda taped down the sides to get them (kinda) straight.


Then you flip it over and begin soldering...

All done... not pretty but hopefully it works.

Then I pulled out the 30awg wire (this stuff is thinner than my hair!). After cutting 200 some odd 1"-1 1/2" strands THEN stripping both ends you have this mess...

I'm on hold with this right now because I want to be able to test each soldered strand as I go, but I'm not sure how to do that. I've posted about this on Astromech, just waiting for a reply.
