The build
# Assembly Instructions
These instructions are for a single Lamp, feel free to scale accordingly.
1. Cut the 1" x 10 ft pipe into the following:
a. 1 x 5ft section
b. 2 x 1 ft sections
2. Join the 5ft section with the 2x1ft sections using the 90 degree coupler
3. 3D print the following files from ME/3D Print Outputs:
a. Lamp_Shim.stl
b. plug-lamp v1.stl Qty: 3
c. Wemos_Bottom.stl
d. wemos_top.stl
Spray paint the joined pipe section
5. glue the plug-lamp v1.stl plugs on each of the 3 pipe ends
6. Solder wires onto the esp8266 and install it into the plastic housing. Note you need to attache the lid before you solder the wires.
a. Connect Red to 5V, Green to D4, White to GND
7. use superglue to connect the shim to the main plastic
8. Drill a small pilot hole in the pole, then use a screw to attache the esp8266 to the pole
This is how the stackup should look
CAD model for reference:
9. Install WLED on the esp8266
a. use the following weblink to install https://install.wled.me/
b. assign GPIO 2 to be the driving pin for the leds
c. set the led quantity to align with the number of leds you have
