Aufbau

Es gibt insgesamt 3 identische LED Leisten (PCB/LED_Leiste) mit jeweils 26 HD107S LEDs.

Die LED Leisten werden dann auf der Hauptplatine (PCB/PixelFan) bestückt.

Die Hauptplatine besteht aus 2 Controllern:

  • ein STM32G071KBTX (Software unter STM_PixelFan) für die schnelle zeitkritische Ansteuerung der LEDs und der Synchronisation zur Drehung
  • ein ESP32 (Software unter ESP_PixelFan) um per W-LAN eine Verbindung zur Außenwelt herzustellen

Der Ventilator öffnet ein W-LAN (SSID: PixelFan) auf dem er eine Website (unter 192.168.4.1) anzeigt. Auf der Seite können Bilder, Smileys und Text auf den Ventilator gesendet werden.

Questions

How big is the PixelFan LedLeiste PCB?

It measures 343.2 × 297.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the PixelFan LedLeiste use?

190 parts, built around the ESP-12F and 74HCT1G125GW. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the PixelFan LedLeiste KiCad files?

From the C3MA/PixelFan repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/PixelFan_LedLeiste.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the PixelFan LedLeiste design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask C3MA before reusing the design.
