I suppose I could just solder them all together in a big ugly mess.
How do you people do it?
If each LED is somehow controlled separately, then it is a big mess no
matter what you do. Using veroboard to hold the LEDs in place, you can
wire them using wire-wrap techniques, or design a PCB and have it fabbed
by some internet place (PCB123, futurlec, etc, etc)
If they are controlled collectively, then you can use stripboard to good
effect. Stripboard is a kind of premade pcb, that has holes drilled every
0.1 inch horizontally and vertically, and the horizontal rows of holes are
each connected with a strip of copper on the back.
