🚥 Micro ESP-01 board for addressable pixel control 🚥 ... suits to every place and mostly to any needs! Only a power bank and a smartphone are needed and you're good to go with your mobile setup.
- Small : +- 14x32mm & Lightweight : +- 4gr
- ESP8266 based (Support for Arduino)
- Designed for common LED Strips like WS2812 with level shifting
- Connection over 2,54 mm 3 Pin for direct soldering, JST or screw terminal (Version Strip or Panel)
- Power and Progamming over USB (CP2104 nodeMCU design)
- User Input for One Button OR IR Receiver
- WLED compatible
- Inspirations from Adafruit, Sparkfun and many others
At the moment I have no possibility for a larger production and distribution. Of course, I am ready for any cooperation to industrialize the production. Happy to get any proposition.
Designed in Eagle, in a messy way! Sorry! The related files are available under /Hardware.

🙏 Please if you need to shop for parts, it would be great that you use the supply links below. As they are affilated, you're supporting me directly to continue to deliver new projects to the community! Thank you ❤️
It started longtime ago when I wanted an easy way to drive my pixels. First pcb version was sended to fabrication in july 2016. Since the project evolved into something more advanced and more mature!
| ToDo | Remarks |
|---|---|
| Easy Boards | Design boards without programming chip but with easy to solder buttons and voltage converter |
| Documentation | Improve the transfer of knowledge |
| Big production | Looking forward to have some input, help to release it massivly, if wanted. |
Most of these parts can be laser cutted. The related files are available under Hardware/RGBFighterLaserParts.dxf
| Pin | Function |
|---|---|
| GPIO0 | Button Or InfraRed |
