Our resident mermaid, firepixie makes a lot of projects with WLED and she loves it! So how can we make something that will be powerful enough to drive advanced LED projects that need a compact design? + +The Mini version of the Sparkle Motion is a simpler version of our full-featured Sparkle Motion, we give up the high voltage support and built in IR receiver, in order to make it under 1 square inch in size! By using a 4-layer board and double-sided assembly we've put together this feature set: + +* Power via USB Type C for up to 5V 4A input - you can use off-the-shelf USB battery packs for portable operation. +* 4 Amp resetting fuse to protect from over-current drive +* ESP32 mini module with built in antenna port - the classic ESP32 has the best WLED support even if we'd prefer the 'S2 or 'S3. Comes with 4 MB of flash, dual core 240MHz Tensilica, WiFi, Bluetooth LE and Bluetooth Classic support. +* USB-serial converter with auto-reset +* Two output signals plus 5V power and ground - both signal output are level shifted to 5V. These are on 0.1" spaced breakout pads. To keep the design slim we don't include terminal blocks pre-soldered, [but we do stock the matching blocks if you want them](https://www.adafruit.com/product/2137) +* Extra 2x3 0.1" breakout pads with 4 more GPIO plus 3V power and ground. +* Built-in I2S microphone +* Stemma QT I2C port to connect external sensors/OLED/etc +* User button on GPIO 0 plus Reset button +* Red built-in LED on pin 12 +* Small built-in NeoPixel on pin 18 +* Separate analog/digital input JST port for analog input, potentiometer, microphone or external IR receiver on pin 13 +* Compact enough you can use it for wearable projects - 1.2"x0.8" / 30mm x 20mm size with mounting holes + +While we recommend it for use with WLED, it will also work just fine as a compact ESP32 board for use with Arduino, ESP-IDF, MicroPython, CircuitPython or any other ESP32 supported codebase. + +Note that unlike the classic Sparkle Motion board, we don't include terminal blocks pre-soldered to keep the board very slim. We do stock the matching blocks if you want them, a small amount of soldering is required to attach them. Also, unlike the bigger version, we dropped the on-board IR receiver - however its easy to add one by plugging in a JST SH 3-pin socket cable and slotting in an IR receiver module. + +## Purchase + +* [Adafruit](https://www.adafruit.com/product/6160) diff --git a/_board/adafruit_sparkle_motion.md b/_board/adafruit_sparkle_motion.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..405406112a --- /dev/null +++ b/_board/adafruit_sparkle_motion.md @@ -0,0 +1,40 @@ +--- +layout: download +board_id: "adafruit_sparkle_motion" +title: "Adafruit Sparkle Motion Download" +name: "Adafruit Sparkle Motion" +manufacturer: "Adafruit" +board_url: + - "https://www.adafruit.com/product/6100" +board_image: "adafruit_sparkle_motion.jpg" +date_added: 2025-01-16 +family: esp32 +downloads_display: true +download_instructions: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-sparkle-motion/install-circuitpython +features: + - Bluetooth/BTLE + - Wi-Fi + - USB-C + - STEMMA QT/QWIIC +--- + +[Adafruit Sparkle Motion - All-In-One WLED and xLights Board](https://www.adafruit.com/product/6100) + +We're designing a board for using WLED - and we want to make like the bestest board in the whole world.
