Christmas Tree Arduino Project
Breathing christmas tree arduino christmas light controller step 1.
Christmas tree arduino project. The wiring is straightforward. Assembling and wiring i suggest you to test the project before putting the leds on the tree. Each ws2801 led requests 60ma so 50 leds need 3a.
Connect the strands of. Power the 5v 10a power supply is adapted for 150 leds. Jun 24 2014 04 28 am.
Each color in each row is a separate circuit this way i have control of all colors and rows independently. Click the bullet item text. Wooden led christmas tree project showcase by arduino jarod.
Arduino controlled christmas tree lit by 150 digital rgb led pixels. Define print grid so the arduino will print a map of the tree in the serial buffer. Now let s get to work.
The controller circuit that changes the color and brightness of the led light by alternating the polarity. Even though the christmas tree seems complicated it is actually based on. The project is super easy for everyone to make and no specific knowledge required in order to make it since it is all about controlling rbg leds and a piezo buzzer to display the christmas songs and all these parts will be placed in one pcb and controlled through an atmega328 mcu which is the same microcontroller of the arduino uno.
The tree consists of 6 rows of alternating red green and white leds creating garland around the tree. Make sure to select a mono spaced font such as currier. This is a wooden christmas tree i made using leds for the star at the top and the garland on the tree.
