Homebrew PCBs

Maybe you want to try a sheet of plastic, PVC, about 5-6mm thick and drill
5mm holes.  The LEDs should line up just about perfectly if you use a drill
press for the holes.  A PCB will not align them but of course make the
connections easier.

I'll do is use the test supply to run each LED
one at a time and see where it hits on a third printout where the
board goes. It may just be a few LEDs that are way off. I don't
think I can do better than that with plywood; I'd need a real PCB to
hold them steady enough to be more tweakable, but it would be
expensive to fab out and I'm not yet up to that point with the home
