How to make LED Cornhole Boards. Step by Step. Addressable LEDs!!

Hi Guys...
I decided to build a LED Corn Hole board with embedded LEDs! I will be using addressable and programmable LEDs. After this build I will connect the LEDs to an Arduino Nano. Using an Arduino Nano will give me the capabilities to program each strip. I can program the color , time and pattern that i want.
I hope you enjoy this build!

I love your boards I would love a set do you sell them

[@ricohernandez2394]

Hi Erica! Thanks for watching and appreciate the question! I currently do not sell them... I just make them for pleasure and for family and friends. I do plan on selling them next year when i retire! Hope you have a blessed day...and thanks again! If i did sell them..i would only sell in the Austin and surrounding area. Rico

What’s the voltage on the power supply you used at the end of the video?

[@ricohernandez2394]

Hi weare4l24! Thank you so much for watching my video, and thanks for the question! Better than tell you ...Ill send you the link so you can get all the juicy details for this rechargable power pack. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ME3ZH7C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This pack will last about 10 hours powering the LED strips! Have a great day... Rico

Thanks 🙏🏽

Hello, good afternoon, Rico Hernandez, I would like to know if at any time you have sold corn hole????

[@boybsd1]

How much do you sell the boards for?

[@ricohernandez2394]

Hi boybsd1, thanks for watching and thanks for the question. I do not sell them currently. All the LED boards i have made in the past few years have been for myself, family and friends. I dont even know how much i would sell them for. lol Anyway..have a great day!

[@patwalker1769]

using the LED lights you recommend will they light up when the bean bags hit the board?

[@ricohernandez2394]

Hi Pat, Thanks for watching and thank you for your question. The LED that i used in this video will NOT light up when the bag hits the board. These LED were connected to to a arduino and it was programmed to light up when vibration is detected on the surface. This video kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqnOp2d5mciZjdU uses an LED strip that detects sound and the LED will light up when the bag makes a sound by hitting the board. Here is a link to an almost identical LED stip that i use in the build.

Where did you get those ring leds?

[@ricohernandez2394]

Hi Eric, thanks for watching my video and I appreciate the comment. I bought the LED ring lights on Amazon. I provided a link in the description below. Hope that helps. Have a great day Rico.

Is it important to use waterproof led lights..?

[@ricohernandez2394]

Hi Antonmayer! Thank you so much for watching, and thanks for the question. I have used waterproof and non-waterproof LEDs, and they both work. However, I do like working with the non waterproof LEDs better. They are easier to work with. The waterproof type have a thick clear plastic over the top of the whole strip… And if you have to cut the strips you will have remove the clear plastic covering to access the soldering pads. I hope this answers your question… Have a great day!! Rico

@@ricohernandez2394 all Right thank you. I was not sure if epoxy is electric conductable

[@ricohernandez2394]

@@antonmayer7891 Epoxy resin is not a conductor. Hope you try to make a set of boards! Happy Thanksgiving Rico

Much thanks, inspired to make a set of boards for my 10 YR HS Reunion - awesome videos keep it up!@@ricohernandez2394

man if an led needs repair

[@ricohernandez2394]

Hi Postskeetclarity. thanks for watching and yes..you are right... if a repair is needed..you are pretty much out of luck to make a repair since the LEDs are in resin. thats why it is soo important to test test test...and make sure your solder connection are good. I have made a number of these boards and I have never had the LED strips fail. I have one set that is almost 3 years old and its still operating fine. thanks again for watching my video..i hope you make a set of your own! Rico

[@postskeetclarity]

@@ricohernandez2394 I understand Rico what you mean. my experience with putting LEDs on my roof edges for permanent lighting lead me to understand the importance of having accessible repair but yeah you’re right especially that these things are not like roofline edges to where you gotta be up on some ladder. The boards will still work. I would buy them off of you in a minute.!

[@ricohernandez2394]

It’s is correct!!! Thanks for viewing it!! Rico

[@daveabell8594]

I’ve been looking at doing this for a while now and have been struggling to figure out what to do with the lights. The epoxy won’t ruin the LED lights? What is the oldest set and how long have the lights worked?
