Hi Martin,
My main driver for producing this board was purely for landscaping / theatre lighting for myself and a few friends. As I still have a few boards left, It seems the interest here is very low. It would be a waste to add this to the supported platform list in the flashtool when from...
Sorry about the long delay. So update. I've done all the testing with ESPixelstick firmware and SD card, and as mentioned above, I had a brain fart moment with the schematics. So, 2x PCB traces are incorrect. The boards are fixable if you are skilled with the soldering iron, however, I don't...
Short little video showing testing of both outputs independantly
This is how you program the firmware, using any USB 2 TTL Serial device, (Pin order: GND - na - 5V - TXD - RXD).
This specific one is the Jaycar XC4464 which plugs straight in as you can see. You will need to hold both...
At some point - watch this space.
However, there is a issue with this current batch rendering SD card inoperable 🤦🏽♂️.
So I’ve got a batch of boards that I will likely get rid for cheap without SD card support. So I need to update the PCB to fix this issue.
Currently time limited due to...
Thanks to @AAH's quick turn around (ordered yesterday, arrived this morning!), i now have connectors!
Running the device on 20volts input for a number of hours to validate that the dc buck convertor's operating tempreture. Looks good.
The 3.3v ldo is the only hot device on the board, not hot...
Hey Alan, yes. 3.5mm pitch 3pin connector. I see the connector, but I dont see the header on your store.
Also in the process of moving home - so this has taken a back burner.
Hope so! Had a last minute addition of a 9v zenor for gate of the reverse polarity mosfet, as it only had a Vgs of +/-12V. Can't let the the magic smoke out when using 24volts input!
Input reverse priority and fuse protection added.
Still need to decide on the output connector orientation - 90degree, or straight up..
As well is output pinout!
Personally haven’t experienced any wifi range issues with my current units, however there is also the external antenna variant of the esp32 available if required/requested.
I purposely left the USB and associated components off and put that header as I was trying to reduce Bom count and...
Hey all.
I've previously mentioned in another post that I've made a WLED based ESP32 controller, which had a few shortcomings that i wanted to address in a v2 version. I also learnt since that Espixelstick are currently developing a unifi branch of their firmware that supports ESP32, which is...
