The first batch of changes are here from the feedback and suggestions.

There are two minor changes to the tiles.

 

The first one is the ability to add wiring under the boards for those of you who want to connect all the lights to a mains power supply, The addition of two squares on each side of the tiles that are held in place with tabs allow you to do this, and means those of you who do not want to do this can leave them in place. For those wanting to add wiring, you would simply cut the tabs and clean up the hole with a file or scalpel you can then fit wires up to 4mm under the tiles.

The second change relates to the second shape seen in the above pictures, again it is optional.  By removing this section you can now fit in a small connector sections to hold your separate tiles together

Connectors in place, at the end of each connector are some rounded bumps which slot into the underside of the tiles, the round shape help them find the locators on the tiles and slot quickly into place. The connectors allow for a slight amount of give for ease of set up but will prevent you from knocking your tiles apart

Above one of the connectors below slotting a second tile onto connectors

Below are pictures of the tiles upside down, you can see the square cut out for wire to pass through and the slots for the connectors and in the second picture are the connectors in place.

 

I will be providing two free connectors for each board you have pledged for.

Finally i have been asked a couple of time how the lights fit in place, here is a picture of an internal part inside the tiles, the wire slots into the cut outs with the LED sitting on the protruding piece of wood in the middle.

Tomorrow i will be adding the first sets of add-ons these are all inspired by suggestions and ideas from my backers, if you have any thing you would like to see please suggest it. There will be 8 coming tomorrow, most of them relating to access such as ramps and stairs. None of them will need unlocking and they will all be cheap around the £5 mark per set / item
