XMAS tree with LED control via web

XMAS tree with LED control via web. 
 

Functions:

• RGB LED Christmas tree that prints without supports.
• The upper tree part can be separated from the base part to recharge the LiPo battery. 
• The color and intensity can be controlled with an internal web page. 
• The device is hooked up to your network with the WiFi Manager.
• Powered with an LiPo battery to be able to place it anywhere.
• With the On/Off switch you can turn the device off to save battery power. 
• The LEDs will flash yellow 5 times when the battery status of 30% is reached.
• The LEDs will flash orange 5 times when the battery status of 20% is reached.
• The LEDs will flash red 5 times when the battery status of 10% is reached.
• The battery status is shown in the web portal too.
• During charging of the LiPo battery the battery shield LED will show the changing state.

Web configuration:

Parts used: 

• 1x Arduino ESP8266 D1 mini
• 1x LED ring with 12 LEDs Ø38mm
• 1x D1 mini battery shield board with JST plug to recharge the LiPo battery 
• 1x 1100mAh LiPo battery with JST plug
• 1x Super glue to glue the LED ring to the base
• 1x On/Off-Switch 
• 7x Shrink tubes to secure the cable contacts.

Wiring the parts:

• Connect the D1 mini and its battery shield together. Take care of the pin orientation.
• Solder 2 longer red wires to the On/Off switch and put the switch into the base before connecting it into the red wire of the LiPo battery. 
• On the battery shield solder the 2 sides of the “J2“ solder pad together to enable the battery monitor function used by the code to let you know when the battery gets empty.
• After wiring the LED ring to the D1 mini simply plug in the JST connector of the LiPo battery to its power shield connector.

Code:

• The needed code can be found in my GitHub repository.
• Some animations will follow in a future version. 

Printing instructions:

• 0.3 draft profile
• No supports needed
• No brim needed
• Print the base part in a darker color
• Important: Print the tree part in white color

Happy printing :)
