“Made a cone-shaped RGB Lamp from scratch, The lamp consists of WS2812 LEDs that are controlled by an XIAO MCU.
Hello everyone, and here’s something flashy: a cone-shaped RGB Lamp built from scratch using custom 3D-printed parts and basic electronics, which includes a WS2812 RGB LED and a Seeed XIAO M0 MCU.
The whole setup is powered by a single 3.7V 2900mAh Li-ion cell; the RGB LEDs and XIAO require 5V for operation, so there’s a power management IC connected to the Li-ion cell to boost its 3.7V to a stable 5V and also charge the battery properly.
This Article is about how this Lamp Project was built and how you can make it in a few easy steps.
