Description

Can your office also use some lighting?

You can't even see the letters on your keyboard?

Then this Monitor Smart LED Bar is the print you need!

Because of the easy installation of WLED, you can easily control the LED Bar with a browser, or even almost any Smart Home Platform!

What do you need?

Printed parts (I used a stiff material like Though PLA, PETG will bend too easily):

2x Light_Bar_Bar
2x Light_Bar_Cap
1x Light_Bar_Middle
1x Light_Bar_Mount

Catalogue Parts:

ESP32 / ESP8266 module
5V 2A DC Jack adapter (5V 2A Adapter met DC jack - 5V2ADCADAPTER (tinytronics.nl))
DC Jack Female DC-022B (DC Jack Plastic 5.5mm - Female - DC-022B - DC-022B (tinytronics.nl))
WS2812B LEDstrip 144 Leds/m
(optional) JST-SM 3P Extention Cable (JST-SM 3p Compatible Verlengkabel - 100cm - JSTSM-EXCABLE3P100CM (tinytronics.nl))
(optional) Parchment paper white, can be used as diffuser

Assembly Guide:

Insert the two Bar pieces into the middle piece. Make sure the gap is at the end (this is needed for guiding the cable)
If needed, add some glue if it's not stiff enough
Solder the JST cable to the WS2812B LEDStrip. Add some shrinking tube to the soldered end. Keep track of which color is which connection! Keep the lenght of the cable at 40cm.
Cut the LEDstrip so it will be 50cm long. If you shorten the Bars, also make the LEDstrip the same shorter.
Insert the LEDstrip through the Bar
Guide the JST cable through the inside of the tube until it sticks out in the middle.
Insert the Female Jack connector in de Mount
Install WLED on the ESP board (for configuring WLED, see Getting Started - WLED Project)
Wire the + of the Jack connector to the 5V pin on the ESP, and the - of the Jack to the GND pin of the ESP.
Assemble the Mount onto the Bar, so that the holes on the back align, and guide the JST cable through.
Wire the JST cable like:
1. The + to the same 5V pin on the ESP as the Jack connector
2. The - to the same GND pin of the ESP as the Jack connector
3. The DATA to the D4 pin of the ESP
Put the end-caps on the bar.
But the Monitor Bar on your monitor. To keep it from tilting over, you can add some weight through the hole on the backside! Or use some double sided tape.
Connect the Power Supply to the Female Jack connector, and enjoy!
If you want, you can add the white parchment paper in the Bar to have the light more diffused.

Bro can you give me the diffuser file

@Pimmm89

Replying to @arijit_68620986 :

I'm sorry, but I don't have a diffuser file. I used baking paper as a diffuser, but I removed it since I liked it better without.

I did a remix to suit my needs this weekend. I shortened it to fit my A1 Mini and made the mounting bracket mount to Skadis Pegboard. I needed a little workstation for my hotel room.

You did the heavy lifting my friend. I just adapted it to my traveling needs. A small workstation for my A1 Mini as I travel with work. We are now in Alaska for the winter. Its nice to be able to create stuff while away.

It's beautiful. I've incorporated WS2812B LED strips controlled by the PC's motherboard. I just need to create a mount for my monitor as it's very close to the wall. Satisfied

Thank you! I made up a little "extension-bar" in order to print with my A1-mini and just added it as a remix. In case other users may be interested, feel free to add or modify it.

@zones

How should I use this to hang on the screen?

The designer has replied

@Pimmm89

you can add some weights to the hole on the back to keep it from tipping over! or use some dubble sided tape

@zones

Replying to @Pimmm89 :

thanks These are all good methods, I tried fixing with double-sided tape and it was perfect. It's just that I haven't been able to figure out what the ring below is for, is it used to hang heavy objects?

@Pimmm89

I originally designed to to add a specific weight to it that I had lying around, but also ended up using double sided tape!

@user_2038333101

I don't understand, why the ESP? Can't a USB output be soldered to the LED strip cables

The designer has replied

@Pimmm89

with an ESP, you can control it with WLED software, which makes it really versatile!

@SergioDjG

and it cannot connect to the monitor's usb and that's it

It is possible to connect everything to the ESP and power it with USB, but it won't be as bright. Also make sure you put in the correct settings in WLED!
