@ganjaman I splitted the RGBs (APA102 chip) with "finnish woodpaper". I don't know how to translate the German word "Finnische Holzpappe" correctly. Everything is handwork. Spacing of each pixel is 2.5cm which is not a good idea beacause i had to cut the strip 200 times and resolder VCC, GND, and the data line which equals 1200 soldering points. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I build a 10 by 20 RGB LED-Table out of an 15€ IKEA table.
It has several effects and you can also play games like Tetris or Snake on it by using an Android App. It uses a Rasperry Pi Zero W under the hood for a WiFi and Bluetooth connection.
By using homeassistant I can now control the table by using "Ok Google, turn Table blue." - that's so strange to say.
All in all it was ~50 hours of soldering/building and ~90 hours of programming
Software of this project is open source but without building instructions.
