Testing is Almost Complete

Here's a bit better of an image. 

Trail Map all Wired, Boxed Up

Yesterday I built the backing to the sign and today I finished the wiring including creating a key in the upper right hand corner.  I'll just let it run for a few days in my office to make sure everything is good and then hopefully we'll get it mounted outside.  

Polarizing Issue

I'm trying to solve a little issue with direct light on the LEDs.  In the extreme environment of a ski resort there can be a lot of light directed at the LED matixes.  I've found some polarizing filters that seem to do the job pretty well.  I have some circular ones coming in Monday if they work better we'll be sitting in the cold installing them on Mon.  sweet.

2 Signs Up One to Go

Checking for accuracy.  Yes my fat ass did rip my pants today.

The public already interacting.

It's correct! 

3rd Sign Complete

Just need to winterize/waterproof and finish the power source.  Hopefully we'll get these bad boys mounted Tuesday or Wednesday.
