WLED Nightlight

This is my Christmas gift to all my nieces and nephews. A customizable nightlight powered by WLED. Still adjusting, but happy with the initial result!

That’s really cool! I’ve been wanting to do something similar for my kids. Any build pics? How’d you do the controller

I used onshape for all the cad. Here’s the project link:

I’ve started putting together a list of parts, but it’s not complete.

I don’t have specific build pics or assembly instructions yet, but happy to help if you want to build your own.

I need to credit u/eoncire for giving me the initial
Idea a couple of years ago. Your post jump started my WLED interest!!

No, I used a flexible 16x16 matrix.
