An easy to build Extendable and Reprogrammable Giant 7 Segment Display. Examples for Arduino Nano/Uno and Wemos D1 Mini (ESP8266) included. 👇 More info below 👇
This video is sponsored by PCBway.
Projects PCB from PCBWay:
Build a large and very bright seven segment display to show numbers, words, or animations for your own project. Example code and wiring diagrams are included for both the Arduino Nano and Wemos D1 Mini (ESP8266). Personalise it to your needs by including more hardware, such as thermometers, motion detection, buttons etc or use a Wemos D1 Mini to connect it to WiFi and show dynamic readings from the Web or your local network.
List of items used in this project and where to find them:
■ WS2812B LEDS 60/m (1 Meter required per digit):
A microcontroller, either
■ Elegoo Arduino Nano (x1):
or
■ Wemos D1 Mini and LLC for Wifi and IoT Control (x1):
Logic Level Shifter (74AHCT125):
■ Power supply 5v (x1): (Budget at least per digit, 3.6 amps if your going to turn them all on bright white simultaneously).
■ Barrel Connector (x1):
■ Plenty of M3x6 bolts:
■ 5mm Solid Acrylic:
■ 3mm Semi-translucent/Frosted Acrylic:
■ 3D Printer Filament:
To connect the electronics either:
■ Projects PCB from PCBWay:
■ Wago style connectors or similar:
Optional radio control add-on:
■ Radio Receiver:
■ Radio transmitter fob:
Some wood for the frame. I used four pieces of pine 20x68x436mm (x2) and 20x68x381mm (x2)
To work out the wood lengths for different thickness of wood please take a look at the cheat sheet I made for you here:
■ Glue (I used Wood glue and Gorilla Glue):
These are some of my favourite tools I use and can recommend:
■ Battery-powered glue gun:
■ Bosch Bit Driver:
I use a Prusa MK3S for my projects and highly recommend both it and the Prusa Mini. If I inspired you to take up 3D printing please consider purchasing a printer via this link: #a_aid=diymachines
Prusa support my channel when you use that link at no cost to yourself. :)
