Neopixel Lightsaber Wiring Diagram
Hello guys in this instructables i made a light using neopixel led strip which can be controlled over the internet from all around the world using the blynk app and nodemcu is working as the brain of this project so make your ambient light for y.
Neopixel lightsaber wiring diagram. Feedback would be much appreciated. This project started as part of my halloween costume and then expanded a lot. Data 2 5 additional neopixel data outputs or free for other purposes. They aren t true to scale just meant to be used as reference.
Follow the above wiring diagram to wire. Understand it is a pretty ambitious build for my first time. With that said let s dive right in and explain how our lightsaber is composed and to do that we refer to figure which reports the wiring diagram. The project is essentially composed of two neopixel led strips each with 53 rgb leds managed by a tiny board the beetle.
Data 1 id normally used to measure the blade id restor and if it s a neopixel blade feed out neopixel data. This diagrams was created using fritzing software. Connect the 5v input on the strip to the pad labeled vbat or bat on the board gnd from the strip to any gnd pad on the microcontroller board and din to flora pin d6. This provides a visual reference for wiring of the components.
If using a flora feather or other microcontroller board with an attached lithium polymer battery. Led 1 6 hooks up to negative side of led positive side of led hooks up directly to battery. Kylo ren rey neopixel lightsabers w party modes. For a fixed non neopixel saber it could be repurposed.
I ended up making two lightsabers a kylo ren style saber and a rey anakin skywalker style saber and creating different arduino code to simulate each. Can anyone help me take a look at my wiring diagram for a prizm 5 1 with neopixel blade and pcb connectors.
