I finally finished this big project I have been working on and off for a couple of years. It is a 2 meter wide chandelier designed for the inclined ceiling of my living room.
It has 84 individual leds, each in a brass tube hanging from aluminum profiles. The center is made with #3dprinting , using some PETG-GF.
Happy how it looks, and relieved it is done 😅

A lot of overengineering: each section is independently driven by a mosfet, the mosfets are set on a custom PCB, the PWM is generated using a PWM module, and the whole is controlled by an esp32c3. The esp32 has espnow enabled and can be commanded to adjust the brightness. Overengineered because I will probable never use the variable light mode this enables..

@plantagolabs Phenomenal. So subtle and elegant and I won't even try to understand the tech part of it. lol.
