tubes should be good, I'd scuff them up with some corse sand paper so you can't see though them and they catch more light. Are you just gonna set the cuts of tube in there resting under he dust washers? or hold them in with some sort of adhesive?
They are a snug press fit. I just tested one and im going to have to paint the inside of the bore white. Since its black its making white look purple and the colors are off.
But I got a bigger worry than that now.
My first led64 board is acting crazy.
I had both set to id1 and id2 in the ultimarc software.....
Mapped out my ledblinky input map
Was playing with animations last night and everything was fine.
Then i decided to try to make a custom script in the pacled64 program since that is what handles the led's untill the front end loads up and i wanted them all to just come on and fade to white.
The pacled64 program is about as unintuitive as it gets and the guide is vague.
Couldnt figure it out so restored factory script back on both of them but now they dont even come on when the pc is turned on.
In ledblinky the 2nd led64 acts fine but the first one goes crazy flickering randomly.
Ugggg
EDIT......... Neverming.....when i restored the led boards it unassigned their ID's
Thats fixed. Now i have to figure out if i can wrap part of the outer tube with some white vinyl or paint the bores.
I think either way is going to make a tight press fit for the tubes even worse
Heres a partial test fit. Looks bad. I should of went with acrylic i think it transfers more light and might not of gave an off color
