Martijn,
Could you please elaborate on how this is done, how many LEDs behind? Also, did you nail down volume control you are going to use.
Thanks.
Bender:
Awesome!
Yeah, how did you do that?
Martijn:
1 bright red led does this job, just make a hole 1,2 cm off the center of the knob, 5 mm led i used
because there is plastic inside the knob the glow surrounds great
i removed the protection plastic a little to check in black plexi and it is een better then i thought !
Bender:
so there is no hot spot?
and your not diffusing the light in any way other than reflecting off the back of the knob?
DaOld Man:
Man, great work on the volume knob LED!
Thats what I was wanting for the griffin led, but the mirror idea didnt work.
My griffin fails to start probably 1 out of 3 times now, so I see a downward trend.
Im beginning to shift into the planning stage now of replacing it with a pot. So then I can install leds like you did and light up my world.
If anyone else on here is panning to build one of these jukes, I highly recommend you try to find a powermate type knob and use a pot. The powermate is way to expensive to work like it does.
Although I do like the push to mute function. I am still thinking of going that route with the pot.
