Refrigerator Lights is a simple blinkenlights update of the refrigerator of the MunichMakerLab hackerspace.
It drives a small WS2812b LED strip based matrix of 15x10 LEDs behind a diffuse cover; which replaces the old lamp. Controllable by MQTT over ESP8266 WiFi module.
- FastLED library for all the fancy animations
- WeMos d1 mini (ESP8266 devboard) as MCU and WiFi access
- MQTT to remote control the animations and state
- WS2812b LED strips (15x10 pixel ~ 50x15 cm)
- 5V 12A power supply
- WeMos d1 mini (ESP8266 devboard)
Wiring (Fritzing file)
- FastLED
- LEDMatrix XY-Matrix class for FastLED
- PubSubClient MQTT library by @Imroy.
