My PCB for ESP32 with 8 LED channels

Looks like just a distribution board + fuses, right? Should be easy to create with EasyEDA. Maybe even based on my board so that there’s only one single.

Yes that’s right.
I need a similar system.
Even better if it’s on your board.
Your project match my needs for xlights show.

Feel free to copy my project and add the stuff around :wink:
Do you need the fuses? That’s probably the hardest part: to find through-hole fuse holders for that 19mm car fuses. The design of the schematics and the PCB is easy, the basics can be learned within a few hours.
What currents do you expect? If it’s serveral amps, It would make sense to contact JLC support to ask what thinkness and width of copper is required.

Edit: not soo hard, just search for “fuse holder auto blade”, here are some: https://www.farnell.com/datasheets/1703971.pdf.

But I don’t think you can build the board cheaper that way. It’s available for $35 from china. The fuse holders alone costs $25 at farnell.

Yes I totally agree with you. Found this for 13€ https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005005971154210.html
Do you think it is easily possible to add an ethernet port on the board ?

What is the value of the resistors I should be using ? (R1-R8)

Depends on who you ask, you’ll get recommendations from 0 to 300 or more. Quindor has a pretty good write up here. Data Signal Cable Conditioning - quinled.info

Finally assembled and tested. Here goes the image of the finished board. Thanks everyone for the help.

Hi, this is nearly exactly that what I’m looking for - I start designing but thought: maybe look around a little bit. I have used some esp32 to flash the wled project, but I have no experiences with generating a pcb (last time was 30 years ago :-)).
And now my maybe a little bit stupid question: Is the Sound Reactive part include in the original files? Or do I need to modify the original files (I have never added sound to my wled, but maybe it is a nice idea).
The picture of Duttasagar looks perfekt to me. Which micro do you use?
Thanks
