This is the plexi being fitted
and set for glue. The tape is pressed as tight as can be for gluing
because the glue can be drawn into any small gaps. it was glued and
left to set over night and then finally masked for paint.
Prep the mouse for paint. This
one was painted on the outside only so that the inside would reflect
the LEDs.
The window was put in with
silicone to seal the inside from stuff, like oil from hands and dust.
With a bowed window I needed a block and a rubber band to hold the
window in until it dried. The lighting plan needed a pin-out for the
mouse cable to find the 5 volt solder points on the mouse.
Next was determining the
place to mount and wire the LEDs. These are T-1 super bright parallel
wired, with a 150 Ohm resistor. I used a calculator for the LEDs and
came up with 33 Ohm, but I tried a 39 Ohm and it was too bright and you
couldn't see anything in the mouse. So it was changed and tested for
better looks.
