ESP8266 to RGB LED Adapters, Making Your Life Easier.
We are opening up orders for our ESP8266 to RGB LED adapters, supporting all variants of 3 wire RGB LEDs, including WS2811, WS2812, WS2812B and more!
Each adapter includes an AMS1117 3.3v regulator, and will work with 12v or 5v LEDs. You can choose from 2 versions, with or without a 8 pin pin header , depending on your project needs.
These do not include the ESP module, and are designed for the ESP8266 (ESP01) chip.
Check out our web store for each version:
ESP Adapter with Pin Header
ESP Adapter NO Pin Header
Power is connected to either the top of the AMS1117 voltage regulator, or the solder pads below. This is then split and goes into the voltage regulator as well as straight to the LEDs.
Thus if your input voltage is 5v, you will need to run 5v LEDs, if your input voltage is 12v you will need to run 12v LEDs.
The AMS1117 regulator drops the voltage down to 3.3v for the ESP module itself.
Wi-Fi Round LED Clock (ESP8266 and WS2812B)
This is a video about making a Wi-Fi enabled LED clock. It uses an ESP8266 WeMOS D1 Mini board to connect to the internet where it get’s the time from an NTP server. I’ve used Fusion 360 to design the clock and printed it with my Anet A8 3D printer with black and white PLA.

Raspberry Pi Zero W Powers Mario Kart Live Prototype
Nintendo’s new Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, a game where your home becomes the track thanks to augmented reality and a remote controlled kart, is almost ready for release. The team behind prototyping the unique kart have talked about prototyping the technology used, which anyone can buy, namely the Raspberry Pi Zero W.
As written by Nintendo Life, VELAN was tasked by Nintendo to develop a prototype of the kart used in the game, and they chose the Raspberry Pi Zero W as a testbed. Looking closely at the image, we can see four key areas that identify the components used.
VMware, Nvidia partner to make AI chips easier for businesses to use
VMware Inc and Nvidia Corp on Tuesday announced an effort to make VMware’s software for managing data centers work better with Nvidia’s artificial intelligence (AI) chips.
VMware makes software that helps businesses get more work out of data center servers by slicing physical machines into “virtual” ones so that more applications can be packed onto each physical machine. Its tools are commonly used by large businesses that operate their own data centers as well as businesses that use cloud computing data centers.

There’s a freaky gaping chasm in Microsoft Flight Simulator, with an airport at the bottom of it
Last month we were all amused and transfixed by several looming citadels discovered on the landscape of Microsoft Flight Simulator. And now there’s a new reality-warping curiosity to visit.
A bizarre, gaping chasm has been found in Brazil. And weirder still, there’s an airport at the bottom of it.
This yawning chasm appears to first have been found by ReversedWindow on Reddit, who was brave enough to taxi an airplane right on down inside it. I did the same, and it’s weird down there. Very weird.
