How To Make Neon LED Signs | Low Cost with Alexa, Hue & WiFi Controls
I’m Lewis, and this is DIY Machines. The channel where I show you step-by-step how to build your own awesome projects. Today I’m making some large neon effect LED wall signs and I wanted to share with you how you can easily build your own design with inbuilt wifi and Alexa control.
This project is similar to my surprisingly popular video showing how to make portable and dimmable desktop neon signs.. Now, several people wanted to know how to make these much larger signs which can be very costly to buy pre-made so I’ll show you how I built these three backed with a false living wall backdrop, coffee beans and astro turf.
As mentioned, the signs can be controlled using Alexa and Philips Hue, allowing you easily turn it on, off or to any desired brightness. This is thanks to WLED running on the ESP8266 here on the reverse.
The entire system runs at 5v, and as sometimes it’s easier or more appropriate to control your lights with a physical control instead of having to use your voice or find your phone - I’ve included a discreet dimmer and power control at the bottom of the frame.
List of items used in this project and where to find them / BOM:
