Here I present another project based on a addressable LEDs strip, based on WS2812b leds.
It consists of an āelectronicā candle, which lets you select set colors, adjust the intensity, and have different effects like rainbow, fade and fire. The project arose from the purchase of an IKEA lantern modelĀ BORBYĀ ā¦ the idea was to replace a candle of considerable size, for something more ā¦ modern.
17Thanks toĀ NeopixelĀ strip LED (for more on these strips, you can see the previousĀ postĀ ), the circuit is veryĀ simple and only consists of anĀ Arduino Pro MiniĀ Ā (so that it can be hidden inside the āfakeā candle), a piece ofĀ addressable LED strip (5 leds in my case), aĀ infraredĀ receiverĀ TSOP1738Ā (the TSOP1736Ā works well), a resistance of 330 OMHS, an electrolytic capacitor 4.7uF, a small switch and a battery holder.
