In this project I show you how I build my LED Bar around my 15x10 RGB LED Matrix. I will mainly talk about the construction of the frame for the matrix and the wood construction for the bar itself. On the electronics side I will also talk about a small Attiny85 light controller to light up my WS2812B LED strip.
