There was a guide a year or so ago on this forum about making LED-lit buttons, I'll try and dig it up. I know kitsch has been working on silicone-like buttons with LED holes for at least a year (it's somewhere in his shop thread), but you can drill your own holes and put the LEDs in yourself on clear buttons (you may want to sand the outside to change the light diffraction, as well as cut notches for the LED legs to escape through for wiring in series).

Hard to execute, almost ALWAYS stunning when done smile looks great!

Yeah, I imagine this is the easy bit though. Getting the LEDs to be sound reactive with the DMG's audio?

It's a bit fun for sure lol. I actually backlight mine differently than the way he's talking about, but I'm sure with a good soldering iron and some creativity you'll get there smile Oh, and before I forget again;

those buttons will be ready momentarily, speaking of

decided to change a little something sort of on a whim.  worthwhile for the delay though, i'm thinking

Since my soldering and modding skills sucked when i first started out with Chiptune, i got some leftover "BrokenBoys". Most of them have malfunctions or parts in them which wouldn't work, 'cause cables got ripped or i did something wrong.
So right know i'm on a run to give them all a makeover. 2 are already done, 2 more to go.

Last week a new GameGirl was born.

And today i reassembled and cleaned out the old BlooperBoy. Now a new Squid is in Town.

I finished a little thing two days ago:

It is a sore reminder that one cannot make minute details with a spraycan. It's not super great, but I'm happy enough with it. smile

Frog Tape.
It really does work as well as the commercial says.
For detailed elements; lay strips of the tape on wax paper, draw your design, and carefully cut it out with an xacto knife. Then simply peel, stick, and spray!
You can get some spectacular results if you're patient.
