NeoPixel + ESP8266 + PLYWOOD = WALL LAMP "BATMAN" (part 2)

Nominee for the award "BOMZH-PROJECT 2020"





In this part, we will continue to tinker with a wall lamp. For those who missed - here is the first part of this epic.





* and again DENZHER: there are many pictures under the cut!





So, we settled on the fact that after pouring the epoxy resin, we had to wait a long 3 days until all the resin hardened (I confess, it is quite possible that I underweight the hardener a little, but in general nothing fatal happened). Let's move further into the jungle of lighting.





  • After 3 days, the resin level dropped lower than at the start (it was poured along the level with plywood). But nothing, the color turned out to be very thick, absolutely opaque (the color had to be added in half less, and I added about 5 grams per 200ml plastic cup)





As a result of not the best quality sealing of the perimeter, the resin shrank (or, in a simple way, it leaked out)

  • Well, we tear off the lamp from the floor, and look at it from the back side. Good devil!





Don't breathe on the masterpiece!  After pouring, the luminaire begins the path to perfection.

The varnish did not sit perfectly, but it's not scary!  There is still grouting and polishing ahead!

Fitting a new body element "in nature"

  • The new part was painted white for additional light diffusion, and "bosses" were installed on the main body to fix the backdrop





After that, the back wall of the main body was painted white again, and I proceeded to assemble the circuit with the LED strip and the ESP8266 board. But we will talk about this in 3, the final part of my story.





Then I take my leave. Your A.S.
