LEDDMS - RGB LED Dungeon Master Screen

thingiverse

This is MK1 of my RGB LED eluminated DM (or GM/Marshal) screen. I whipped this up mainly as an excuse to get a friend into programming microcontrollers, Arduinos, ESPs and such, but doubled as a secret santa gift while I had a lot of scrap from other projects free to use. After this got some attention on [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/earait/oc_received_a_handmade_illuminated_dm_screen_from/) it was obvious some people were interested in making their own. Credit for the DnD maps I used to etch these panels (pictured) were made possible by the awesome work done by [Maps by Dyson Logos](https://dysonlogos.blog/maps/commercial-maps/). I haven't included these in my files and leave it up to you makers to seek permission where appropriate and to add art to your own dxf files for etching/cutting. I intend on doing a MK2 eventually to improve some of the models slightly and do a instructable article on how this is put together, how to add artwork to the sketches, and wiring and coding needed to work. For now though I'll just say that you'll also need: * 4mm Acrylic Sheet * 3mm MDF Sheet * 40x cable ties * 6x M5 25mm hex socket cap bolts * 1x RGB LED strip - approximately 72 leds (I used a APA102c strip) * 1x Microcontroller (I used a Nodemcu loaded with Micropython) * Some 22awg wire to connect the LED strips together * Some cable sleeving Lastly, I have no intention of commercialising or doing commissions. My intention is to get more people inspired to create and pick up the skill of programming. Plus I have very little time with many more projects on the run :D
