📌 Cheap & Quick PCB, 3D Printing, CNC machining, and fabrication services from PCBWay pcbway.com/g/v8fQIG
📌 Circuit, Source Code and 3D STL Files - pcbway.com/project/shareproject/Decorative_Skull_LED_Lighting_WLED_WS2812B_ESP8266_02880b8b.html
In this video, we will make a 3D printed decorative LED light inspired by the Calavera skull design. You can fully personalise it and control it over Wi-Fi using the WLED app.
We use a WS2812B LED strip about 80 cm long with 50 LEDs. The brain of the project is the Wemos D1 Mini, an ESP8266-based board. We added a capacitor and a resistor to provide constant power. For easy assembly, I designed a custom PCB that I ordered from PCBWay. You can choose PCBWay for low cost and high quality PCBs. PCB files are shared for free. Additional components include terminal block connectors, female headers, and a 5-volt power adapter. Finally, a soldering iron and some solder wire are required to assemble everything.
