Add some lighting to your LEGO Bonsai Tree with this kit. It's a quick and cheap build - all of the components can be bought for less than £5 total!

The LEDs are controlled from your web browser (on a phone or PC) and the RGB setting can be fully customised to fit your display.

Arduino files and build instructions can be found on the Github page

You will need:

ComponentExample Link (what I used)
Wemos D1 Mini ESP8266 (or equivalent clone)D1 Mini Clone
4x WS2812b LEDsLED strip
<1m wire32awg servo wire

And some parts you probably already have:

  • <10g 3D printing filament
  • Micro USB cable and 5V USB power supply
  • WiFi Access

Note: be careful with wire selection, if you use the 32awg cable I listed above, you must not wire all the LED power in series as the current will exceed the rating of the wire. Instead, use thicker wire and check your specs! You need to support ~240mA maximum continuous.

Printing:

The parts can all be printed from any rigid filament at standard settings and should use <10g of filament total.

You will need 1x ‘d1_mount’ and 4x ‘LED_mount_brick’

Build Instructions:

The build instructions and arduino code files are all on the Github page!
