RGB Audi Ring-SMT Service From JLCPCB
Just to display and showcase the effect of RGB with ws2812 neo-pixels. Experimenting different codes and effects with rings,
Components required:
1) Arduino Nano
2) Custom PCB's
3) Wires and all
4) Soldering equipments
Today we are going to make this RGB ring using Neo pixel LED's. we will learn, something new about neo pixel, how to operate them, how to show different animations and how to make your own RGB neo pixel ring. In last we will control them using Arduino Nano board and make some cool stuff to show by combining all the rings.
Here we are using 5mm*5mm WS2812 RGB addressable led's. These led have a special build chip which gives them an address to glow. Using the MCU we can generate an analog value between 0-255 in which is also defined in the code as 0- brightness.
Now take 3 different values like (0,125,255) the first value represents the intensity of red color, second & third represent green and blue respectively. By changing the values we can represent different color scheme.
This mini Led can be operated in the voltage range of 3.3 to 5 volts without any external resistor. Although we can control the brightness through the code.
I want to make a large one, which is not available in the market, so JLCPCB comes to my mind and then I think to go with SMT service. So I made a schematics using EasyEDA and choose a proper component which is cheap and in stock.
I connected all the LED's in parallel and made the all the data connection in series. Keeping an eye on input and output, some heads are placed accordingly. Making all the power connection in parallel is easy and can be powered directly through microcontroller line. One panel/ring has 20 Led's and in this manner you can connect them all.
