RGBW-Controller

This is a low cost and tasmota compatile RGBW-Controller as an alternative to MagicHome devices. Everything is untested until now.

Some specs:

  • operating voltage 12V (becaus of the mini360)
  • max current per channel (color) 5A in theory
  • fully compatible with Tasmota
  • price/piece around 5.60€
  • dimensions 20mm x 35mm

Tasmota template:

known bugs:

  • Short circuit between +12V and GND because of a polygon error

Questions

How big is the RGBW Controller PCB?

It measures 20 × 35 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the RGBW Controller use?

25 parts, built around the ESP-12F and AO3400A. 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 RGBW Controller KiCad files?

From the maxl95/RGBW-Controller repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is RGBW-Controller.kicad_pcb and its schematic RGBW-Controller.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the RGBW Controller design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
