Neopixel Jewellery Suprise

I love neopixels or ws2812 as its technically called. This is a little project I made for my wife (not geeky at all ), she asked what the hell is this. Well its ok if she rejected it because I can keep it for myself (it’s what I wanted anyway :laughing: ) Let me know what you folks think of it. I present to you [The Jewellery Box](https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ojrw916ip6gfdnp8bk4ae/20250919_184428.mp4?rlkey=vxmvhwtvzfz43hs6ngvktz9jf&st=e1xxbiil&dl=0) (Video) ![20250918_150736|500x500](upload://zOPJLRDv3JWFH6Vi8sKx6GX2K5Z.jpeg) ![20250919_193954|375x500](upload://fjS6SCEA5MjsDvAooqJsTZwDzko.jpeg) And the link to the complete folder for this project [Neopixel Jewellery Box](https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/gixzsrxaetjeaujdt2dxy/AMZLkefnYenJlrZpkJmMok4?rlkey=fbhivbc96h1zoq3tvu91m0fyu&st=mrlfxfxz&dl=0) This was a very easy project and fun to do. These are what you would need to make this. * ESP01 or any wifi based board that supports WLED * A battery + Charge module TP4056 * Switch * Breakout Board for the ESP01 * Thermocol Balls or diffusing material * Double sided tape * A Box Depending on the type and size of the box you can decide which board / battery can fit. I bought a ESP01- WS2812 Breakout board from [Flyrobo](https://www.flyrobo.in/ws2812-rgb-led-controller-adapter-module?tracking=ads&srsltid=AfmBOopew9JtOt_H_VY-9SoaJmJ0KPLmljuJeBePwFgpJSLWfWPlCyyDYCk) , let me tell you I bought from Flyrobo a couple of times and it never dissapointed. If making your own breakout board or directly soldering on the dev board please please never connect the neopixel power terminals to the dev board, connect only the GND and DATA pins , the +VE can be directly connected to the end of a switch the other end of which is connected to the **+OUTPUT** of the TP4056 charging module. Also remember to connect the -OUTPUT from the TP4056 to the neopixel, refer to the below image to understand clearly ![leds_Wiring-Diagram|690x404](upload://5KFthyZcBkoBHx16Ok5TLuq1xUk.png) The LED’s themselves are bright and harsh to look at for more than few seconds, thats why I wanted a diffuser for them. The cheapest and kind of best ones were the thermocol balls which you can get from stationery stores. I cut each ball into 2 halves and stuck them onto the LEDs. Anyone with a 3D printer can do a much cleaner version of this and maybe even more compact.
