I got the idea for the pxlDigit_PCB while building the pxlDigit (article here: https:\/\/nerdiy.de\/howto-elektronik-sieben-segment-ziffer-pxldigit-aus-ws2812-leds-bauen\/<\/a><\/em><\/strong>) have come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There, the pxlDigit is constructed from individual WS2812 LED segments. To do this, the LEDs must first be glued into the 3D printed housing and then soldered together in the housing. This step in particular is not so easy due to the lack of space. :\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That's why I have the pxlDigit_PCB<\/a><\/em><\/strong> designed. The LEDs, the ESP8285 and the rest of the electronics can be installed on it. This allows you to first build, test and program the entire board and then insert it into the 3D printed housing of the pxlDigit or the pxlDigit_clock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the integrated USB-C connection, the pxlDigit can also be supplied with power directly and the firmware can be programmed if necessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the following (optional) components can be installed on the PCB:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
