Maker Builds Glass Brick RGB Lamp
A maker documents a DIY project converting a 190×190×81 mm glass brick into the "Light Block" RGB LED lamp by 3D-printing a custom enclosure and reusing a Medic Mini mainboard (ESP32-C6 with IP5306) and a seven-LED WS2812B Dodecagon PCB. The build uses a 3.7 V 2600 mAh Li-ion battery, hosts a web app on the ESP32 for wireless color control, and includes 3D files, PCB assembly, wiring, and example FastLED/WebServer code.
Key Points
- 1Reuses Medic Mini (ESP32-C6, IP5306) and seven WS2812B LEDs to illuminate a 190×190×81 mm glass brick.
- 2Enables wireless color and mode control by hosting a web app directly on the ESP32-C6 microcontroller.
- 3Provides open 3D files, PCB assembly steps, wiring diagrams, and sample FastLED WebServer code for replication.
Scoring Rationale
Actionable, well-documented DIY hardware guide but limited novelty and narrow maker-focused scope reduce broader professional impact.
