WLED-BOX

An easy, compact WLED controller. Powered with USB-C for easy connection and enclosed in a nice, organized small box.

I made this because most WLED Controllers out there are very overkill for most home users' use cases or way too expensive. This WLED Controller provides an easy and simple way to control your WLED Lights while giving you a nice, clean, and smooth experience.

Questions

How big is the WLED BOX PCB?

It measures 23 × 50.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the WLED BOX use?

7 parts. 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 WLED BOX KiCad files?

From the Choccy-vr/WLED-BOX repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/WLED_Box.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/WLED_Box.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the WLED BOX design in my own project?

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