Reverse Mounted LEDs (Diffusing LEDs through the PCB material)

In this video we will look at the process of reverse mounting LEDs so they shine through your PCB which gives a really nice diffused effect! I recently posted an image on twitter of a tester board I designed for trying out different mounting positions for side mounted LEDs and the tweet generated some interest so I thought it might be worth making a video about it. --------------------------------- Links: --------------------------------- Side mounted LED tester (including links to side mounted LEDs I used) : https://github.com/witnessmenow/Brian...
