GlowBand Dock
About the GlowBand Dock PCB
GlowBand Dock is an open source PCB design by LEDs-by-glowingkitty, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 26.8 × 15.4 mm, with 13 components from 10 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the UMH3N, 918-418K2022Y40003 and CP2102-GMR. By type, the board carries 4 capacitors, 3 ICs, 3 connectors, 2 resistors and 1 fuse.
From the project
GlowBand is an exciting LED wristband. For dancing at parties and festivals, for long-time exposure photography, and for everyday situations that need some light.
GlowBand is an exciting LED wristband. For dancing at parties and festivals, for long-time exposure photography, and for everyday situations that need some light.
This project started as "The Glowing Arms Project" (check out the "GlowBand v0.1" folder) and after experimenting with making the project smaller and based on existing PCBs ("GlowBand v0.2" folder) I decided to instead make a custom PCB design ("GlowBand v1.0"). The PCB design is still in development, but I plan to finish the design in the coming months. Stay tuned!
