An LED-display based on WS2812-LEDs (also known as NeoPixels)
The schematics, plans, code and a few pictures will be published. Most of them in this repository.
The project started as an excuse to use a laser cutter and because I thought: A round led screen would be a nice thing to have. Since there wasn't one availbale for a reasonable price, I started to create my own.
Note: This is the first time I used a CAD-tool and the first time I used a laser cutter. Hence I made some rookie mistakes, but all in all the project looks okay. It's not 100% finished yet.
The code is online, but in an early stage. You can get it over there: https://gitlab.luxeria.ch/xermic/ledisplay
- SVG-Files for the laser cutter
- Fusion 360 Archive with the CAD project
TODO ;-)
I hade quite a lot of help. I try to list everyone here:
