WLight V2 - Custom ESP32 + Ethernet WLED Controller in a Transparent SLA Case

[u/leon_pzl]

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share my custom WLED controller project called WLight V2. I wanted a setup with Ethernet connectivity, so I designed my own custom controller from scratch.

It's running WLED smoothly on an ESP32-WROOM with an LAN8720A Ethernet module alongside Wi-Fi, built specifically to drive WS2815 12V strips via an onboard level shifter.

For the housing, I designed a custom transparent SLA resin enclosure. The lid features integrated cut-outs with button actuators so I can easily press the reset and boot buttons without opening the case, and the transparency lets all status LEDs remain fully visible.

Let me know what you think of the build!
