Cutting the PMMA plate and preparing the aliminum board for the leds.

It’s been a while since I posted new stuff on Touchmyworld … Well, between my DIY Modular, iPhone programming, work and vacations, I didn’t have something new to show off. Until today.
I finally found a PMMA plate at Leroy Merlin for 20 euros: 500mm * 500mm * 80mm. As my LCD is much smaller (it’s a 17 inch) I had to cut it and, thanks to Philippe and his new Makita saw, it was really easy.
I now have a 390mm * 320mm * 8mm plate, enough to fit with my LCD display.
I also prepare the aluminum board that will hold the IR leds: 36 leds on the long edges and 28 leds on the smalll ones.

New step will be to mount the leds with the resistors and illuminate the PMMA plate so I can make some testing…

Here are some video of Philippe at work:
