LCD touchscreen controller for ws2801 lights

[Qdeathstar]

So, what got me into 3D printing was a project I started exactly 2 years ago was a project to put up ws2801 LED lights on the Eve's of my house.

Namely the enclosures for the controllers. I have made a whole lot of iterations, from hard wired to rf433 and now I'm using esp8266 wifi control.. And this will be my enclosure for the user interface..

It will hold an 7" touchscreen, arduino due, esp8266, and a rotary encoder for more fine tuned control... It will also have a small strip of ws2812 that shine through the case to show color/speed/pattern during set up.

I had to print it vertically cause it was too big to print flat... Made the print take 5x as long, big atleast It printed well!

I'll keep this topic updated once I finished it..


Also, I can finally vouch for the difference in quality between hatchbox and matterhackers filament.. I had to swap mid print, and I'm not sure if you can see it in the print... But the matterhackers filament is a lot more "white" that the hatchbox....

I'll be using that from now on I think

Here is a picture of what it is going to be controlling

Got the screen in.. Looking good... I think perhaps the ribbon cable I added has the wrong pinout because my esp isn't communicating with the due

Troubleshooting...

Got if working yay

Here are a few more pics:

Now, off to design/print the back cover!
