My second LED Hoop Workshop went pretty well on July 19, 2008. Thanks to everyone coming out in the hot summer afternoon. We had 10 people this time so it was very busy and I am sorry if I could not give everyone the right amount of attention, but I think we had a 95% completion rate? Three of you opted to try the rechargeable upgrade so it did add more complexity and time.

Some of the wire stripping tools also malfunctioned but I have tested all of them and have thrown own the culprits.
We also learned a thing or two about silencing the hoop that I can pass onto the next class.

Special thanks to Gustav for helping me out showing others how to finish their hoops. And he also prepared his hoop for some extra modding. Can’t wait to see what it looks like when you attach sensors to it.

I have already heard some very positive feedback from you troopers. If you have any comments to add please do so below so that future workshop goers can get an idea of what it’s like.

Most of you tell me you are very satisfied at the end of class to see your hoop working that you made yourself. And you also know it inside and out allowing you to modify or fix it at anytime.

My next class is scheduled for this Saturday July 26. I am going to try to keep is small and limit the number to about 5 or 7 so sign up quick!

Go to 3rd Ward for the sign up and material fee.

I have new instructions and a new LED Hoop Rechargeable Upgrade Kit that is easier than the first I wrote about.

This time the DC jack snaps right into a through hole on the outer diameter of the hoop between the switch and connector.

You only need to make a 3/8″ hole for it in your tube. You’ll still probably want to solder the wires to the jack but it is pretty straight forward.

Basic Specs:

Light Time : 3-5 hours
Charge time: ~ 1 hour

The new instructions are here.
