Neopixel Tree

About This Project

This is a project for a holiday neopixel tree that is controlled by cayenne. It uses two MCUs, one to maintain a healthy cayenne connection (a ESP8266-01), and the other to drive the neopixels (SAMD Dev board). The MCUs communicate by I2C. It took me forever to get the I2C working… Kept thinking it was hardware issues because the data rarely came across correctly. Turns out it was one little piece of code that sets the I2C clock stretching limit. With that it works.

When I change a value on the cayenne dashboard, it sends a Wire library interrupt (which is blocking meaning it stops any other code) that resets the dev board (to break the many, many neopixel loops) and then sends the new data from cayenne to the dev board and runs the specified neopixel pattern. The slave code has some extra pieces that arn’t used currently… mainly tests for different patterns.

Neopixels need max of ±.73 volts on the data line from the power source which is 5v. The SAMD Dev board and the ESP run at 3.3v so I needed a special logic level shifter to correctly relay the data to the neopixels. I got the Adafruit 74AHCT125 shifter and the neopixels work good with it.

The reason I went with a SAMD board is because I’m going to add a neopixel ring for the star on the tree and this board supports multitasking so both can run at once. The tree needs more ornaments too lol.

What’s Connected

900 neopixels, a ESP8266-01, a Sparkfun SAMD Dev board, a Adafruit 74AHCT125 level shifter, two inline fuses, and a 60amp DC 5v power supply.

Scheduling

I use this to turn off the tree at night.

900 neopixels Well now I have Christmas tree envy. Cool stuff!

P.S.
Just saw this contest yesterday if you wanted to submit this there.

shramik_salgaonkar · December 14, 2017, 7:19am

nice project @vapor83

bestes · December 15, 2017, 8:13pm

Another idea…share a live webcam of the tree and share your project so we can use Cayenne dashboard to control your tree

Great project!

fabius852011 · December 23, 2017, 10:06pm

what kind of neopixel did you use?

adam · January 5, 2018, 10:06pm

THAT IS AWESOME! I bet those neopixels cost you a small fortune

vapor83 · January 7, 2018, 1:04am

They were not too bad. $22 per 300 on a roll so just under 70. Power supply was leftover from a failed project so that helped cost. I prob would have spent close to that on regular lights anyway.

vapor83 · January 7, 2018, 1:07am

They are 5m, WS2812B, 60 LEDs/meter, coated IP65(waterproof)

fabius852011 · January 7, 2018, 2:17am

and what kind of card sparkfun?

vapor83 · January 7, 2018, 3:11am

Sparkfun SAMD Dev board

I used a Adafruit 74AHCT125 level shifter because its a 3.3v board and neopixels run at 5. The dev board playsnice with the esp since they both run at 3.3v.
