Mount Adafruit NeoPixel Sticks on the V0 Y-rail Extrusions
- Add controllable RGB(W) LEDs to your V0
- No heatset inserts required
- Compatible with NeoPixel Sticks from Adafruit
- Large cavity inside the body makes wire management easier
- Light guides prevent LEDs from blinding you
- Designed with Timmit99's V0 Umbilical in mind (not required)
_Inspired by the mod from JNP_
BOM
- Printed parts
- (2) Adafruit NeoPixel Stick
- (8) M2x6 flat head - to mount covers
- (4) M2x8 SHCS/BHCS - to mount the PCBs
- (4) M3x6 SHCS/BHCS - to mount the assemblies to the Y-rail extrusions
- (4) M3 nuts - to mount the assemblies to the Y-rail extrusions
- (2) JST-XH connector plug 4-position - to allow for easy disconnection (optional)
- 22awg wire
Assembly
- Solder wires of appropriate length onto the back of each PCB (VDC, GND, DIN, and DOUT)
- If using JST-XH as disconnects, solder the other ends of the wires to 4-position (male) connectors - the connector should fit inside the body cavity once assembled
- Mount the PCBs inside the printed bodies using M2x8s
- Don't install the printed covers at this stage
Installation
- Insert 2x M3 nuts on the bottom side of each Y-rail extrusion - requires partial frame disassembly if already assembled
- For the wire path, you have two choices:
- Drill 1/4
