Testing out the 20mmx20mm Neopixel LEDs in the shape of letters. Threw together project with EasyEDA and ordered from China 1 week pcb + parts + assembly. Surprisingly great quality and first board is functional! Using a Pixelblaze controller atm, might switch to a in-house solution integrated on the back. Note for future: remove soldermask, route OUT to solderable pin

Draw 8in star in CATIA, import to Circuit Maker, design schematic and layout, 10 day turnaround PCB 2oz copper and 2mm FR4 board, hot air solder with low temp solder paste, HazzahESP32 for wireless OTA programming, 70x Neopixel RGBW individually addressable LEDs, and program to rotating rainbow pattern!

Designed PCBA to replace existing PCBA from a Tesla Model 3 Puddle Light with WS2812B RGB LED, ATtiny85, 5V LDO, resistor and capacitor. Anytime the door is open, RGB LED lamp at the bottom of the door, facing the ground, fades through the colors in a 6 second loop. Before it was just a boring white light! My first custom PCB design. 30 boards for $21, delivered in 10 days from China.

Warm white (3200K) and cool white (6500K) LED Strip 16ft, 24V, high CRI (95+), 450 lumens per foot LED strip underneath stair railing.  Pictures show warm white, 50/50, and cool white.  Plan to build controller that drives the LED strip and adjusts color and brightness based on sunrise and sunset. For now, I leave it at 50/50 warm/cool and use Wemo switch for automated timer.
