Wohoo! I got a design for the controller, and placed an order for 1200 LEDs. Grand total: $25.50 from China, free shipping, and should get here sometime around April. XD Once I determine the quality of those LEDs I will post the company's name, along with a happy "they rock" or an angry rant (I'm hoping for the first one). The price tag for the DMD will probably end up costing around 50 bucks once I figure in the 10 ICs, 16 MOSFETs and a couple (64) resistors.
Spring break next week, and gosh darnit, I'm GOING to be using the table saw. The plywood is here, the design is ready, now I just need to cut and assemble the cabinet. Then I can start removing things like the coin door from my room, and putting flippers and other fancy parts in.
