Introduction

This project is about a WiFi LED XMAS tree consisting of an ordinary electronics gadget LED christmas tree with a pimped top LED and connected to a WEMOS D1 mini to enable WiFi control.

The hardware

  • ordinary LED christmas tree (such as this one from Ali Express [[1]])
  • pimped multi color controllable LED (we used the WS2812B on a small white circuit board such as one of these [[2]]
  • WEMOS D1 mini based on the ESP8266 (such as this one [[3]])

The code

So far we programmed basic animation for the LEDs and a little webserver to accept commands for turning on and off seperate LED colors. To make the animation more smooth, lately we programmed a Chen attractor but did not finish it properly. Feel free to report bugs or create new features :)
