The crucial part of the job is the laser-cut plywood frame which has a finger between each digit in buy to completely area the lights. Each pixel is hot glued in place, with the Arduino board which drives them at the center of the frame. These lights are incredibly bright, so [Tobias] likewise included a light dependent resistor which enables the system to determine ambient light as well as modulate the pixel brightness accordingly.
There are four parts to his job publish so make sure you take a long time to click around in buy to get all the gritty details.
