Yongying – A quirky wireless charger and desktop clock

The
project uses the IP6826 as the main control chip for the wireless charger, primarily for wireless charging mobile phones. The casing features a clown design for added humor; the clown's logo text can be changed to more entertaining text. To address the monotony of simple wireless charging, 59 WS2812 LEDs are used in a ring to provide a clock or light show effect. The project
showcases
entertainment features
by providing a mirrored time, displaying an incorrect time to mislead others, or suddenly triggering an RGB light show. Both the mirrored and normal time displays are shown in the demo code.
The casing
is partially 3D printed and partially made of acrylic panels; the 3D model is in the attachment, and the panels are in the project file. The panels were not printed with adhesive backing; double-sided tape can be used to attach them later. For the clown-patterned acrylic panels, please choose the thinnest possible thickness; thicker panels may affect wireless charging functionality .
Note that


some capacitors should have high voltage ratings. If you don't need the WS2812 component, it's essentially a wireless charger.


The IP6826 main controller needs to be purchased with its own firmware. This controller supports 15W wireless charging


and is not compatible with the ESP32. You can replace it with the ESP8266 as the WS2812's main controller, which offers better value.


The two Type-C ports cannot be plugged in simultaneously. For daily use, please distinguish which Type-C port to use. The other Type-C port is used for program flashing.
