This page contains all the info you'll need to solder the wiring needed for these panels. We'll be uisng [14 gauge SAE connectors](https://www.amazon.com/Wadoy-Disconnect-Harness-Connector-Capacity/dp/B07GZBPDRB/) for power and CAT6 cable for data. Each panel's LED strip needs power injection or the colors towards the end of the strip are inaccurate; I'm using these [18awg connectors](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B37HGGTJ) for power injection. ## How To Build Each Part Wiring-related parts: [[Leaf Panel]] [[Branch Panel]] [[Trunk Panel]] [[Y Cables]] [[Teensy-Octo Output Cables]] ## Status: What Do We Have & What's Left To Do? Planning to build 55 triangles - 45 for the design and 10 spares. | Part | # To Build | Minimum # Needed | # Built | | ------------------------- | ---------- | ---------------- | ------- | | Leaf Panel | 30 | 26 | 30 | | Branch Panel | 13 | 13 | 7 | | Trunk Panel | 12 | 6 | 12 | | Y Cables (power) | 20 | 15 | 13 | | Y Cables (data) | 20 | 15 | 9 | | Teensy/Octo output cables | 8 | 6 | 6 | | | | | | If we have less triangles? cut up to 4 leaves ## Assembly Diagram With the above types of wiring, we can daisy-chain 5 triangles together. This leads us to the following assembly: ![[construction-diagram-assembly.png]] ## Microcontrollers and CAT6 Cable The microcontroller I use is: https://www.pjrc.com/store/teensy41.html https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_libs_OctoWS2811.html https://www.pjrc.com/store/octo28_adaptor.html For the Ethernet cable wiring, I often refer to this from the Octo adaptor page: ![[2023-10-14_11_51_58-pjrc_store_—_mozilla_firefox.png]]
