Schematic Design Description

1. ESP8266 Minimum System
2. Power Module uses ME6211, outputting 3.3V to power the ESP8266
3. Charging Module uses TP4054, Type-C interface; charging occurs when LED21 is red, and it turns off when fully charged.
4. Use WS2812 in 2020 package, 20 on each side.
PCB Design Description
The wings consist of two PCBs, left and right. Both PCBs have the same function and can work simultaneously or in series. Note that the wiring on the left and right PCBs is different; care must be taken during soldering.
Software Description
1. Install "WLED_1.1.0.apk" on the mobile app, and burn the "WLED_0.15.0-b1_ESP8266.bin" program onto the ESP8266. See Attachment
2. After installing and flashing the program, turn on your phone's Wi-Fi, search for "WLED-AP", enter the password "wled1234", and the wled settings page will pop up after a successful connection.
