This is my protopod. I think I built four or five of these, some came out better than others … point to point soldering of jumper wires isn’t the best approach, especially when they’re all overlapping and what-not
each of those leds is rated at 200mW, but I’m only driving them around 100mW because they need a fairly heavy pcb with good thick traces to sink the heat.

you can see that I’m not the worlds cleanest prototype builder … but heck, I don’t care as long as it works
