About This File

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)

Design

_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

Wired

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
