Cheap & Quick PCB, 3D Printing, CNC machining and fabrication services from PCBWay pcbway.com/g/v8fQIG - In this project I will show you how to make a simple wooden wall light with LED strip taped around the wood panel and controlled via wireless network! With no coding knowledge, a few hardware parts, and a few electronic components... Maybe after reading these Instructables you can make a different DIY LED lighting project for the upcoming Christmas. Let's make a simple RGB wall light!
📌 PCB Gerber File, Bill of Materials, Reference designator - www.pcbway.com/project/sharep...
📌 Detailed instructions - www.instructables.com/DIY-Sim...
📌 How It Works?
As you can see, a few meters of WS2812 RGB LED strip was taped around a wooden panel and the panel was fixed to the wall (aluminum profiles were used to fix it.). LED Strip can be controlled by smartphone, tablet and computer via ESP8266 Wi-Fi board. Also, there is no need to coding for all of this, just install WLED application and run it! With these instructions, you can make a simple LED lighting home decor in different sizes, according to your imagination.
📌 Required Hardware and Tools
First of all, the following hardware dimensions may vary completely depending on you. What is important here is the selection of LED strip and aluminum profiles compared to the wooden panel size.
▪️ 1000 x 200 x 18 mm wood panel, timber or plywood (pine shelf was used in the project)
▪️ 20 x 20 x 1.5 mm aluminum strips to mount the back of the timber
▪️ A few hook -shaped screw (for hang the wood through aluminum strip holes to on the wall)
▪️ WS2812B 5V RGB addressable LED Strip (Used about 2.5 meters). There are 30 LEDs in 1 meter of the LED strip used in the project, but there are 60 LEDs in 1 meter of some LED strips.
Any ESP8266 programming board. Just like a Wemos or NodeMcu board. Wemos D1 Mini was used in the project.
▪️ 330 ohm resistor to be used for LED's connection to the board.
▪️ A 1000F capacitor to be connected between the power adapter and the LED to provide the correct current.
▪️ 5V power adapter about 2-3 amp ( The current is proportional to the length of the LED strip. More LED means more current... In the project, about 1.5 amps for 2.5 meters LED (65 LEDs) was required.
▪️ Mini breadboard for build to circuit.
▪️ Jumper wires for use to breadboard circuit.
Some tools are needed for assembly, these tools may be preferred depending on your project:
▪️ Drill- Used for drill some holes in the timber and aluminium.
▪️ Drill bits- For drilling through the timber and aluminium.
▪️ Ruler-Used for measuring everything up of course.
▪️ Screws - A few wooden screws (for fix the aluminum strips to timber)
▪️ Cable cutter, solder iron, soldering wire...
I also designed a printed circuit board for those who want a more professional circuit prototype. A few extra components are needed for the printed circuit board prototype, mentioned these components in the PCB step.
