How to use it?

How to use it in 12V Mode with RGBWW

Hardware:

  • You only need to insert as many MOSFETS (IRLZ34N) as you want to controle Channels. Bridge the jumpers according to the table below

Software:

  • Boot into configuration mode (see software README) and change the "LED Type" to "RGB", "RGBW" or "RGBWW" for 3, 4 or 5 active channels.

How to use it in 5V Mode with WS2812

Hardware:

  • Just bridge the Jumpers according to the table below.

Software:

  • Boot into configuration mode (see software README) and change the "LED Type" to "WS2812".

How to use it in 5V Mode with APA102

Hardware:

  • Just bridge the Jumpers according to the table below.

Software:

  • Boot into configuration mode (see software README) and change the "LED Type" to "APA102".

Questions

How big is the Espled PCB?

It measures 100 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Espled use?

52 parts, built around the DS18B20, AMS1117-3.3, TXS0108EPW and IRLZ34N. 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 Espled KiCad files?

From the Yottabits/espled repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/ESPLED.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Espled design in my own project?

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