Moonlight
About the Moonlight PCB
Moonlight is an open source PCB design by SamyIOoOI, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 65.5 × 57 mm, with 16 components from 13 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the NE555D and 4017. By type, the board carries 6 resistors, 4 diodes, 3 capacitors, 2 ICs and 1 connector.
From the project
A night lamp with stars and a crescent. Includes LED running animation controlled via the PCB. #3AM YSWS Project (and actually built around that time too)
- Cozy light night light made up of an LED Strip behind dark brown, dark purple or black(ish) crescent - Running LED lights with red, purple, orange and pink for aesthetics. ------------------------------------------
Ignore the white rectangle it's supposed to represent an LED Strip + The colors in the star LEDs are purple, red, orange and pink
- Prepare the PCB via ordering or hand-solder, follow the schematic & use the pcb design as a reference. - Stick an LED strip of your choice within the crescent and run the wires out. 5V LED Strips are recommended. - Connect the LED Strip wires to…
