The BD-1 High Density Rear LED Board provides the dense, screen-accurate rear lighting for a BD-1 droid build in a compact footprint.
What’s included
- 1 × BD-1 high-density rear LED board
What you’ll also need
- A controller for the LEDs (Arduino Nano, Teensy or Pi Pico-class board). Sample code uses the WS2812 / NeoPixel / FastLED libraries.
- A clean 5 V power supply — these LEDs are 5 V only; do not run them at 6 V.
- 2.54 mm 3-pin Dupont jumper cables (standard 3-pin servo style).
Assembly
[Draft — step-by-step photos and exact wiring to be added.]
- Mount the board to the BD-1 rear shell. [VERIFY: fixing method / orientation.]
- Connect 5 V and GND from your power supply. [VERIFY: pad reference.]
- Connect the data line from your controller to the board’s data-in. [VERIFY: pin.]
- Test with the sample code before final assembly.
