Hi... It's me again...
Hey, I have had this on my right speaker in my living room since it returned. This morning I noticed that I had orange for a moment. Going into alignment mode I found that LEDs D46 and D64 are now out or barely lit (it seems t…
Wow. Thank you Windell. I received the clock today. Was this something I could see? I am perplexed how this would have happened after it was all put together. I promise, I really did look all over to find the issue. Hopefully this did not take you l…
Hey Windell,Sorry, I have been crazy busy with work again. I finally got a little time today so I replaced D21 like you recommended. I have the same result. D21 does not light and I still have several sets of lights that light simultaneously. So, I …
Good idea for the hole, but I am in love with this massive array of LEDs. Also if someone asks how it works, the clear is ideal for this. But I won't worry about this for now. I still have an extra LED from the build. I don't mind replacing it. If i…
Sorry, work kicked in and I haven't had a chance to work on this more until tonight.
The flipping and flopping was referring to trying to follow the traces above and below to figure our what goes to what.
The reflowing was done quickly. Sorry. Won…
BTW I have been metering places where I can figure out where the traces go, but there is a lot of flipping and flopping here. I did meter all the vertical 0 ohm lines and they all seem fine.

Good point. I meant the actual physical bulb, not the projection bulb. After I posted I realized that being that there are 30 LEDs, that my 10:30 example didn't really work either. But the approximate position.I have done a visual inspection of the …
After submitting this, my wife was asking what was wrong. As I was showing her, I noticed that it was different combinations that were goofed up. LEDs I just stated as being out (blue 12 straight up) now light and others are mis grouped. It is like …
