After more than 9 months of development, production of the backsplash begins with the build and installation of two sheets of tiles. With 32 tiles, 32 LEDs and microphones, 16 circuit boards, thousands of solder joints, and hour after hour of epoxying, these two sheets were an immense undertaking. But this is just the beginning, there are hundreds of tiles to go! In this video, I give a brief recap of the tile lights project, then jump right into building the tiles. The first order of business is building the circuit boards and testing them using my automated PCB tester. Once that is done, I prep the tiles and begin the multistep process of installing the circuit boards onto the tiles. After wiring it all up and doing a functional checkout, the tiles are mounted to the wall. The build process is not without issues though, so I cover some of the challenges I encountered and the solutions I implemented. Finally, with 32 tiles on the wall I can’t help but coding up a few colorful patterns to show them off!
