Description
English:
I have designed a compact enclosure for a NeoPixel LED ring that integrates a WEMOS D1 mini module. It provides protection for the electronics while ensuring a stable mounting of the LED ring. Ideal for small DIY projects or decorative lighting applications, such as WLED or ledfx for music visualization.
Required:
- Neopixel ring 24 pixels (https://amzn.eu/d/3TjPcdc)
- WEMOS D1 mini (https://amzn.eu/d/jdIf63O)
- Wiring ideally multicoloured in 0.2 mm²(https://amzn.eu/d/agqsBXW)
- 2x M3*5*4 embedding nuts + M3*12 countersunk screws (link see below)
- Soldering iron + solder
- Super glue
- Screwdriver / Allen key depending on screws
- Wire stripper
- USB-C cable + power supply
- optional double-sided adhesive tape
Assembly instructions:
Step 1: Melt the embedding sleeves into the 2 holes with the hot soldering iron (see picture) TIP: The optimal temperature for the soldering iron is the printing temperature of the material - 20 degrees Celsius (for PLA 200 degrees Celsius)
Step 2: Solder the stripped wires (red, green and black), shortened to approx. 8cm, to the WEMOS D1 mini
Black → Ground (G)
Red → 5V (5V)
Green → Data pin (D4)
Step 3: Fit the WEMOS D1 mini into the provided base plate and feed the cables through the slot to the other side
Step 4: Tin the solder contacts on the Neopixel ring and solder the 3 wires from the WEMOS D1 mini to the Neopixel ring as follows:
Black → GND
Red → 5V / VCC
Green → DIN
Step 5: Secure the finished soldered LED ring in the provided recess with a little super glue
Step 6: Screw the wall adapter plate to the base plate with the 2 M3 screws.
The ring light can now be used in a variety of ways. Whether individually programmed with Arduino Studio or an installation of WLED to conveniently control all functions and effects via mobile phone. In my case, I use several LED ring light spots with the WLED software and visualize my music playback at parties with LedFx.
For those who don't know how to install WLED, here's a very detailed tutorial:
