LED lampoon

prusaprinters

<p>Every year there's this thing around my neighbourhood called <strong>de lichtjesstoet</strong>, all kids walk around in a parade with simple lampoons &amp; candle and sing songs. I wanted my kids to stand out, so I designed a lampoon powered with LEDs, controllable by Bluetooth.&nbsp;</p><p>To be able to build your own lampoon you'll need:</p><ul><li>an ESP32 (or ESP8266 if you don't need Bluetooth)</li><li>an<a href="https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005002583689146.html?spm=a2g0o.9042311.0.0.71e04c4daX3dk4"> 8x32 LED WS2812B panel</a></li><li>a USB power bank (or other type of battery)</li></ul><p>I printed mine with glow in the dark PLA for an extra cool effect, but white will work as well. 0.2mm layer height should be fine.</p><p>There's a slot for your ESP, I use tape to keep mine in place. Connect the LED panel &amp; you are good to go.</p><p>The parade was canceled this year (COVID) and the software I wrote is far from publishable, but you could flash <a href="https://kno.wled.ge/">WLED</a> or the <a href="https://github.com/kitesurfer1404/WS2812FX/blob/master/examples/auto_mode_cycle/auto_mode_cycle.ino">WS2182FX autocycle example</a> to get something that will wow your kids.</p><p>This print consists of 2 parts:</p><ul><li>The base</li><li>The top lid</li></ul><p>Because the battery pack I had laying around was huge I made an alternative version of the lid with some extra space so it could stick out.&nbsp;</p>
