Introduction: Dazzlers PS4 Console Station

Step 3: Step 2 - Button Panel.
Using a Router I carefully cut the PS4 button shapes into the right hand disc.
I used programable LED strips to make the shapes bonded in the disc using a glue gun.
Some simple Arduino code allowed me to create the correct colours and address the correct no. of LEDs for each shape but using one continous LED strip.
Clear frosted perspects disc fitted over the LED shapes to mimic the buttons.
Right hand button panel fitted to the controller front right panel.
