Idea
This is a WiFi enabled RGB LED controller with the following features:
- Power in from the main 5V power source and stepping down to 3v3 for the MCU
- Pass through of the power to the led strips
- ESP8266 MCU with boot strap, reset and flash logic
- Programming header for auto-reset and flash enabled programming
- Boot and reset button
- IDC header breaking out I2C, 3v3, GND, FLASH (as additional GPIO) and RESET pin
- LED data out (at level of 5V via level shifter)
- Breakout of not used GPIOs 12-14 plus GND
- Wake up circuit prepared with a solder bridge
The WiFi controller is also ammended by a peripheral board that contains:
- 5 Light and 1 Mod Button
- A Temperature and Humidity Sensor
- An MCP23017 for IO expansion
- A breakout for the unused pins of the IO Expander
- An IDC connection with the same pin-out as the IDC connection of the Controller
Components
- ESP8266 as an ESP12-F module
- ME6211C33M5G-N (voltage regulator)
- 2n7002 MOSFET (level shifting)
- UMH3N (auto reset circuit)
- Screw terminals for Power in and LED Power + Control out
- IDC 2x3 for I2C breakout
- Std Pin headers for programming header and unused pins breakout
- 0.5A Fuse
- SMD Push buttons
- MCP23017 (I2C)
- SHT40x (temperature controller)
- BAT54C (OR Gate type diodes)

Questions
How big is the Rgbled controller PCB?
It measures 70 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Rgbled controller use?
30 parts, built around the ESP-12F, ME6211C33M5G-N and UMH3N. 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 Rgbled controller KiCad files?
From the chof747/rgbled-controller repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is controller/rgbled-controller.kicad_pcb and its schematic controller/rgbled-controller.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Rgbled controller design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CC0-1.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
