Pressure Drop Jukedock

The Pressure Drop JukeDock is an iPod dock, that provides audio/visual outputs, USB connection to a PC, and various modes for its LED lights.  One of the lighting modes the  JukeDock may be set to simulates the rising rainbow of light made famous by jukeboxes of the 50’s and 60’s. Design challenges in this project included electronics packaging (the design ended up using two pcbs, one horizontal down low and another vertical in the center of the product on which the LEDs were soldered, as well as the LED control logic), and sourcing a translucent, light-scattering material to use on the sides to eliminate the hot spots of light created by the LEDs, while passing as much light through as possible.
