I am having difficulty understanding the relationship of the way the horizontal and vertical centers are related to the way the circle builds. The circle may build with all the LEDs pointing inward. If I turn the rotation off, they all rotate to the same (wrong) orientation. I get cock-eyed LEDs in their proper positions around the circle. Therefore, “This did not really improve things.”īottom line, I have not found a method that reproduces the proper result consistently. The second method gave failed results, similar to to the original failure. With the first, I was able to get a 2" circle. Used the non zeroed out perimeters and added 25mm. So, it does not seem to like to be moved and zeroed out.Īlso tried it with the first LED that was moved near the origin. Used its existing coordinates and added 25mm. Selecting an LED from the pooled existing population, without moving it.

I am having some success with creating the array in a circular fashion with the 0/12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions properly placed by setting the horizontal and vertical centers to 0. I want to create a circular LED array having 16 LEDs, evenly spaced. ![]()
