Controlling a ledstrip with the ESP8266
Posted: Sun May 01, 2016 3:55 amJust a small project of mine that was a bit more complicated as just attaching some wires.
I found a battery operated ledstrip in the dollarshop and wanted to control it over wifi AND attach it to a power supply.
So I used a 5Volts power supply for powering the ledstrip. Attached an LM317 to step down the power tot 3.3 volts for the ESP-8266-01 and attach a power transistor (TIP-120) for controlling the ledstrip with the ESP.
Control is done over a minimalist web-page with just 1 ON/OFF button that controls the ledstrip.
Later this will be incorportaed in a domotics system and the only thing I have to do at that time is to alter the software.
For the complete project and software just visit my weblog:
