LoginBen made 7, dpitts and myself will make 40. First we need to cutout 440 4" disks from plywood and drill a 1 1/2" hole in each.
it takes 11 disks per pole
440 4" disks
440 1 1/2" holes added into each disk
cut 9 of the 11 disks in half and then glue to a 36" long 1" PVC pipe
Each pole uses 48 pixels from the 150 pixel ws2811 12v flex strip. you get 3 poles per 5m strip. So we need 14 ws2811 flex strips, each cut into thirds.
I dont like plywood to be bare in my display elements so i am dipping them in KillZ primer.
Now you get the title, doughnuts for our light display.
