ULed

Version française / French version

Photo ULed
Universal Led is an USB device based on an Arduino nano (clone) to easily control 5 leds on Windows
Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgvi46x4oaE

ULed App
You can choose 6 color for each leds. (White/Red/Green/Blue/Yellow/Orange/Purple)

Usage

How to install drivers : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3CsftsfiQU

Components

  • Arduino nano CH340G: 2€
  • 30 leds WS2812B : 4.50€ ( 5 leds :0.75€)
  • Resistor pack 400pcs (3€) (1 resistor: 0.0071€)
  • Total : 9.5€ (2.75€)

Wiring

Wiring / How to make it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgvi46x4oaE

Do not used more than 5 leds without a dedicated power supply or this can damage the leds
Each led can draw up to 60ma at full brightness
An Arduino can provided up to 500ma (on 5v/Gnd pin)
5 leds = 5x60ma = 300ma

  • D6 --> RESISTOR (470Ohm) DI
  • +5V --> 5V
  • GND --> GND

You will need to fill a hole for the led strip (see wiring instructions)

Create your own applications

Commands available

You can test the device in Arduino Serial Monitor
Baudrate : 115200 / No Line Ending
