Jixel Party

I spent my evening soldering jixels for the Jellyfish (jellyfish12000.com) art car last night. Each jixle consists of 8 leds + resistors, a capacitor and package of transistors (I’m guessing) and 36 solder points. The Jellyfish currently has 350 jixels and is adding another 250. Thats 9000 solder points that have to be made and inspected. Its a huge project that benefits from a great team of volunteers. I think there were 9 of us last night, 5 threading leads into the pcb and 4 soldering or acting as ‘helping hands’. The next jixel party is Thursday, and I’ll be there sucking down lead solder fumes once more!

edit: One of the project engineers has just informed me that its approximately 40 thousand solder points in total, and nearly all of them are made by hand! [also I fixed the spelling of Jixel because I'm a retard ]
