16x16 LED Matrix Setup with WLED and ESP32, BEST Enclosure Design!

Join me as I unveil the my NEW design for a sleek and functional 16x16 LED Matrix Panel enclosure! I go into the step-by-step process of designing the enclosure and talk about some of the hiccups along the way, Sit back and relax as I guide you through the build from start to finish, then show you how to set it all up. Elevate your LED display game with this innovative project – perfect for tech enthusiasts, DIYers, and makers alike! @21:57 I do mention that the maximum Power Supply needed to achieve full bright White is 15A (which is really overkill for this project) as 3A is more than enough, this was intended to be informational. If you do decide to go that route, then make sure you are using 18AWG wires, you may also wish to add some kind of ventilation to the case also. Thanks.
