For our device I did research into the materials we used and explored what we can do with the materials we had chosen wood & acrylic.
Once we were happy with what we would do with the final look and feel I set out building the devices.
.
I used a spare material to from another project to set up a bench in my garden shed so I could have an are to spray paint.
While building the device I had to solder a number of things and spent a good bit of time soldering wires onto LEDs . I had not done this in a while and had to practice a few times to get it right.
One of the Raspberry Pi computers with the GPIO pins connected to the LEDs that I used.
