Good news:
The LED reflection is too bright to look at in full daylight, and covered by a sheet of paper, the light is definitely visible
Bad news:
My original plan to have a cutout of the seven-segment digits is not going to work. I drew up a custom seven-segment design in AutoCAD, printed it out, and was cutting it out on a scroll saw. I was getting pretty good results on the top, but on the other side, the lines were pretty wavy.
So now i'm considering what to do. Maybe I could take the patter to a professional print shop and get a transparency made? I'm also considering scaling the numbers up just a bit and using straight edges of aluminum foil to screen off a pattern.
Any ideas out there?
