Hi folks. Just want to start by saying what an amazing thing you have created here! Must be great to be part of the team and see the general public enjoy your work so much! I am quite envious :D

Anyway, I was looking through your previous progress reports and came across the active motorway signs you have made. Very impressed. What I want to know is how you have printed the speed limits (45/65 25/55)in reverse onto the plastic / glass, such that they are hard to see under normal circumstances until lit up?

I have wanted to create a control panel with similar printing for a while now (anyone who knows B&O Beocentres of the 80&90's will know what I mean!) but haven't found a satisfactory method yet!

Can you guys help?

Oh here is the pic of the sign in question!

Thanks.

Hi Olly!!
I know you had to wait a while to get the info you need but here we go:

It is quite simple. For each sign we built little boxes into the bridge. The sign itself is a seethrough printed foil. Just put 2 white LEDs into the boxes and you have fantastic motorway signage!

Enjoy making your own signage!

Hi theresa thanks for the feedback!

Only one thing (promise won't bother you after this I know you must be busy!) but I am not sure what you mean by 'see through foil'. Are you simply referring to Transparency Film?

Thanks for your time :)
