<p><b>New page</b></p><div>A guy (Sam) with a very nice home built CNC stopped by a recent meeting asking if people had ideas for CNC projects. Bloominglabs doesn't have a nice sign outside our office space, so that is something we need to fix.<br />
<br />
The current plan is to come up with a side-lit LED sign. There are numerous sites and projects on-line to look to for inspiration and information:<br />
<br />
=== Online Projects ===<br />
* [http://www.ehow.com/how_5094589_make-edgelit-led-signs.html EHow, how to make edge-lit signs]<br />
* [http://www.instructables.com/id/Edge-Lit-Mobile-Night-Light/step10/ENJOY/ You know, for the kids!]<br />
* [http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2009/09/22/making-an-edge-lit-acrylic-sign/ On Adafruit - gave us the idea]<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Materials ===<br />
* [http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/117/3540/=fr3qdh Machinable PETG (recommended for indoors)]<br />
* [http://www.mcmaster.com/#acrylic/=frlf1x Machinable acrylic]<br />
* LED tape (around $30, best would be RGB for multi-colored possibility)<br />

* Aluminum for the case<br />
* Power Supply (12VDC)<br />
* Arduino or microcontroller to make the display do cool things.<br />
