But if it was not fun, you would not be doing it. Right?

How did you go about the lighting? Individually controlled through a controller but is there a letter cutout and the letter inserted in it and the wiring from the back? Great video

Hello !

Thank you for sharing your great work !

Could you tell us dimensions of your MechMate ?

1500/3200mm working area

Its led strip with sticky tape behind so its just cut to segments placed on the back of the letter and then soldered individual segments inside the letter.

Danilo,
Sorry for the late reply. Thanks so much for the info. It is always nice to see how people do things.

Hello !

Could you tell us which breakout boards did you choose ?
Are you satisfied with them ?

Hardouin

PMDX-126 breakout board with the PDMX-134 motherboard. I have two parallel ports to the board to utilized the full features of the board. It gave me the option of using the PMDX-108 and PMDX-109 later if I wished to. The 126 also allows me to add a 5th drive for my 4th axis. The board has not caused me any problems and I am pleased with it's performance.

Very nice job!
