This project is based on ESP8266 12F/12E WIFI MODULE.. This project is my first project on ESP8266MOD and SMD component..

hence i think i would need a SMT hot air soldering station.

The project is very simple to build where it just needs the bare minimum configuration of the esp8266wifi module..

#SOME KNOWLEDGE ON ESP8266:-

The ESP8266 WiFi Module is a self contained SOC with integrated TCP/IP protocol stack that can give any microcontroller access to your WiFi network. The ESP8266 is capable of either hosting an application or offloading all Wi-Fi networking functions from another application processor. Each ESP8266 module comes pre-programmed with an AT command set firmware, meaning, you can simply hook this up to your Arduino device and get about as much WiFi-ability as a WiFi Shield offers (and that's just out of the box)! The ESP8266 module is an extremely cost effective board with a huge, and ever growing, community.

This module has a powerful enough on-board processing and storage capability that allows it to be integrated with the sensors and other application specific devices through its GPIOs with minimal development up-front and minimal loading during runtime. Its high degree of on-chip integration allows for minimal external circuitry, including the front-end module, is designed to occupy minimal PCB area. The ESP8266 supports APSD for VoIP applications and Bluetooth co-existance interfaces, it contains a self-calibrated RF allowing it to work under all operating conditions, and requires no external RF parts.

There is an almost limitless fountain of information available for the ESP8266, all of which has been provided by amazing community support. In the Documents section below you will find many resources to aid you in using the ESP8266, even instructions on how to transforming this module into an IoT (Internet of Things) solution!

Note: The ESP8266 Module is not capable of 5-3V logic shifting and will require an external Logic Level Converter. Please do not power it directly from your 5V dev board.

Note: This new version of the ESP8266 WiFi Module has increased the flash disk size from 512k to 1MB.

**SOME DIFFERENT TYPES OF WIFI MODULE ARE GIVEN BELOW:

This project Pcb is built only for Ws2812b RGB leds Aka neopixel leds!! the photo is as shown below:

The main Feature of this leds is that they have the WS2812b IC BUILTIN them which makes our soldering work less. The leds have 4pins as VCC , GND , DIN , DOUT arranged respectively. check the attached datasheet aka documentation for the leds.

To use this Board we need some accessories that are:

1. WS2812b led strip
2. WS2812b Led matrix --- check pcbway gift shop
3. WS2812b neopixel Ring --- check Pcbway gift shop
4. WS2812b 7 segment display

after gathering the project accessories let us move to define the pins-

For LED STRIP the pin definition in the code should be GPIO5 aka D5

For LED SEGMENT the pin definition in the code should be GPIO4 aka D4

For LED MATRIX the pin definition in the code should be GPIO16 aka D16

For amazing effects to the leds check the code attached............

By the way i have a small Tindie store where i sell some of my projects if you purchase it that would be really helpful for me and i appreciate that. thanks for your interest.

I would be adding a DC barrel jack soon to the gerber file , you could purchase the board directly from here as it would help me get 10% commission for my future projects and i really appreciate that. also you could check my tindie store and support me there. you could use a discount code to get some offer on my products . for discount codes stay tuned to my instagram @ps_electrobot page.
