# Sixth Lichuang Electric Competition #RGB luminous storage table

* 1. Introduction to project functions

The desktop is always full of clutter. With this illuminated storage table, not only is the desktop clean, but it also looks great.

I have wanted to make a storage table out of wood for a long time, but recently I thought of adding RGB lights, which will definitely make it both practical and beautiful.

Just post the video production link: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1gL4y1Y7Ux

The whole process was very pleasant. First, I used Lichuang EDA to draw a suitable board and used 72 RGB lamp beads. When I was drawing, I wanted to put as many lamp beads as possible. The more lamp beads, the cooler it is.

This time I chose 2SC5050VGBC1CD02 (C233196) as the lamp bead. The main reason for using this lamp bead is because it has a built-in IC and can be used effectively with the controller I purchased.

As for the power supply interface, this time a SMD type-C interface (C393939) is used. I don’t need to explain the benefits of the type-C interface too much. It is simply too difficult to find a microUSB data cable at home now. All devices The era of type-C has arrived.

Next, let’s talk about the controller. Since I personally have never learned programming, I spent a lot of time on lighting control. In the end, I chose a finished controller. I really have no choice but to blame myself for not learning programming.

Controller model WS2812B full-color light bar RF controller. The advantage of the RF version compared to the infrared version is that it can be controlled without the remote control facing the control board, and the receiving board does not need to reserve space for the infrared receiving tube.

We prepared several different wood boards, namely beech board, black walnut, and red rosewood. After many comparisons and considerations, we finally chose black walnut, which is low-key and stable.

Then the groove can be made. The trimming machine uses an 11mm blade to make the groove. It is tested that the groove opened can just fit the light panel into it.

Finally, add a layer of PE board for light guide in the middle, then cover it with a wooden board used as the back cover, and tighten it with wood screws.

After all the assembly is completed, power is turned on to test the power. When the light brightness is adjusted to the highest, the power consumption is about 3.5W. In fact, generally I will not turn on the highest because it is too bright. When the brightness is reduced to one-half, the power consumption is about 3.5W. The power consumption is less than 2W, which is quite energy-saving.

Generally speaking, I am quite satisfied with this production. I basically achieved the effect I wanted. I also saw some shortcomings in my knowledge. I will learn slowly in the future. I just hope to make a little progress every time I DIY. .

Let’s put some beautiful pictures at the end, hahahaha.
