Portable Ambient Light LED Powerbank

thingiverse

This project requires some practice with soldering and a basic understanding of electricity. Unfortunately, I didn't take any photos during the construction process. Here's a quick rundown: 1. Solder the four wires from the LED strip directly to the LED Controller. Make sure the soldering point is on the bottom side of the LED Strip. Lay the wires through the case before proceeding. 2. Glue the LED Strip onto the case. 3. You only need the interior of the Powerbank. Solder the positive and negative wires from the RF Controller to the positive and negative outputs of the "Powerbank Module." I soldered it directly behind the USB Port. 4. Connect the switch between the positive wire from the "powerbank module" and the RF Remote Controller. Make sure to lay the wires through the case before pressing the switch into place. 5. Insert the battery and test it. You can activate the LED with the switch and change colors with the Remote Controller. 6. Glue the interior of the Powerbank to the bottom of your case. 7. Put everything inside and screw the cap back on.
