This is a do it yourself edge lit RGB LED sign that can change colors. I used an Arduino Pro Mini for this project. I also used my homemade cnc machine for engraving and cutting the acrylic.

Good Job
Verry nice
excellent
could a pattern be freehanded with a dremel? correct me if im wrong but it’s just the rough surface of the plexiglass that catches the light right?
nice
Gaaf hoor die cnc machine.
If i buy a large roll of leds then i would also have to buy the remotes and power supplies and solder....for each sign but the kits seems pretty reasonable and i can juat keep them on hand ..1 kit per sign made...
Hi, thanks for your work, I hope you continue uploading more videos, I really liked your work, you really have talent, a question which program you are working on to create the GRBL / CAD codes, are grbl codes?
Hi Augusto, thanks for your nice comment. For creating GRBL I mainly use Easel and Inkscape together with the Gcodetools extension.
Thank you, look for information to try to learn
hai, sorry, how about your CNC machine ?
Hi you didn't mention what dremel and what bit did you use to make the slit...Can you please let me know.
How did you make the control switch? I know it is Arduino, but do you have a tutorial on that or source? Love the DIY CNC
Hi Red, check the description for a link to the source code :-)
I meant, the button for color changing LED
The button is a tactile switch connected as an input to the Arduino. There are 6 color patterns defined in the code that toggles to the next pattern each time the button is pressed (and starting at the first again after the last one is reached and the button is pressed again). I hope this answers your question.
good
wow
Hello!This is Korea.How much is the led bracket?Is it available for sale?
Hi, very nice. Is it possible to connect the micro USB port directly to the LED strip without the arduino? I was trying the same but, for first try, without changing colors?
+Daniel Lopez yes that's possible but do not use a computer USB port directly but always use an external power supply because a computer USB port can only draw 500mA of current. You might also have to use some resistors
thanks for your reply. but for a 5V led strip should do the job right?
Daniel Lopez yes
Hey Leon, I made my cnc machine based on your model and she works fine. Now I'm busy for a month to make a code via inkscape and this is not possible. On youtube it looks so comfortable. On your movie it's so fast I can hardly follow. Perhaps a tuturial how to make code with inkscape?
(May also be in Dutch)
regards
Hi Dirk, nice to hear you made a cnc machine yourself! Instead of using the gcode tools within Inkscape I mostly use the online version of Easel (easel.inventables.com/) nowadays. You create simple designs with this software but you can also import svg files (that you can create in Inkscape). If you want to generate gcode from this design you can do this by going to "Advanced" -> "Generate gcode" -> "Export gcode". The gcode file that you've downloaded can than be send to the machine with software like Universal GCode Sender (github.com/winder/Universal-G-Code-Sender). Goodluck and if you have any questions let me know!
I have a question , what is acrylic sheet ,,, what i bought is just a white color board and you have transparent board ???
Mechanos, yes I've used a transparant sheet
Did you use a led strip on entire bottom with a slot or just 1 led light,with,a small hole
Just one led with a small hole
I really want that machine...
Hi Zairul, check out my other video about making the machine if you want to build one yourself ;-)
Very nice sir:are this engraving
Possible by sodablasting?
thanks, I don't know how sodablasting works.
sounds like R2D2. LOL
Quita Trice r2d2 the Roblox game???
Hi sir , i like your work! I am about to start my led light customizing business, but i am straggling with the g cod ? I wanna generate g code from photos that i draw , i can’t use websites because i need more privacy, can you please do a tutorial on ink escape app ? Please and thank you in advance
i choose ur video for my live project.. can u suggest me a list what matterials i need ??
Hi, you need an arduino, a regular RGB led, some acrylic and ofcourse a CNC machine (or do it by hand with an engraving tool). Goodluck with your project!
did you make your own engraving machine?
+Ric Sabarre Hi Ric, yes I made my own engraving machine. You can check my other video here if you want to build your own: th-cam.com/video/20RqfFjYoW8/w-d-xo.html (there is also a bill of materials in the description)
how thick is the acrylic? thank you
Hi Natalia, it's 2mm or 0.07 inches
How dis you made this box?
Hi Madjid, the base is made from a solid piece of wood. On the top I've made a slot with my cnc. On the bottom I've made a hole with a chisel.
if i want to print my photo on the glass than it is possible or not>??
Hi Mayur, I don't know I've never tried something like that. You would need an outline picture of a photo.
ohk sir, can you give me your email i want to show you something
+Mayur Prajapati you can check the About page on my TH-cam channel
What led strips did you use? 2835?
I did not use LED strips, I've used a RGB LED.
Leon van den Beukel yes but rgb LEDs come in different sizes. Like 2835, 5050, 5630, and even 7020. Which one did you use in the video?
5mm common anode
I want this pls give me
Así cualquiera yo las hago manual
Vuthana Mear
how deep was the cut for this
I can't remember exactly but not very deep. My guess it was 0.2 mm or so
What is it Colors led ?.
Hi Mamat, it's a 5mm RGB LED.
Leon van den Beukel color brather ?..
I have a question! Is this plastic?
Hi anass, it's acrylic
Leon van den Beukel thanks bro (y) .how much for 1m
When you dont have at home n leave your home you can use blue colors,hu,
does this work on normal glass?
Aditya Herfrison I think it will, but use another engraving bit for glass
