IT IS STILL A WORK IN PROGESSS, it works, but i wish to add more improvements.

I will continue as soon i will have time, i have just moved home after 3 years, there are more important things to get done around the house. Plus new workplace and so on. I plan to add a mounting to the back, not just the front a potentiometer and a switch as well(maybe capactive). Camera support if somebody can figure it out how to use the camera with the WLED.

DEMO: 

 

Basically i wanted a Govee-like ( https://eu.govee.com/collections/gaming-lights/products/govee-rgbicww-wifi-bluetooth-flow-plus-light-bars ) light and since i had a spare ESP adressable LED, started designing one. Took some time as  you can see it is iteration 41  in the file name.

Needed:  

  • printer
  • superglue
  • Double sided tape (Hold the LED strip, i used 3M VHB tape)
  • ESP32(Whichever fits, i had esp32CAM at the moment, therefore i used that .
  • DC barrel jack socket  https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000193181466.html
  • WS2812B ( I used 60led/m, i ordered 144LED/m, but i think thats gonna be overkill and expensive. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2036819167.html
  • 5V power supply
  • USB to DC jack cable https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000272973099.html
  • Some wires
  • Capacitor  47uF is fine( I dont have one yet, do as i say not as i do.

Software on the ESP: https://kno.wled.ge/ 

This software is awesome thanks @aircoookie

Use a toothpick to apply minimal amount of superglue to the edge of the diffuser.

Diffuser must be printed with white filament(i used PLA) and with flawless firsts layer and on a smooth PEI. My first layer wasn't the perfect and it shows.

Looking for feedback and improvement ideas. I hope i will have time to continue this project i really like this one. The test piece is still in use.  Pleases feel free to remix,  make your own, make it awesome.
