In this project we are going to control 1 watt RGB full color LED diode using WiFi module ESP8266-01. You can use any WiFi enabled device to access web interface to control this RGB LED. Watch video at the bottom of this page.




Things you will need: 

  • 1W RGB LED
  • ESP-01  WiFi module
  • 10Ω Resistance
  • ASM1117 3.3v  (or any 3.3v voltage source)
  • USB to TTL converter (for programming esp-01)
  • Momentary push button (optional)
  • Android / Apple / Windows  Phone or any WiFi enabled Laptop / Desktop (to control RGB LED)

Circuit Diagram for programming ESP-01 : 

esp-01_circuit

Steps :

    1. Connect the circuit on breadboard as shown in above circuit diagram for programming ESP-01 WiFi module. You must use only 3.3v logic setting in TTL device.
    2. In this tutorial we will used Arduino IDE to download code into ESP module. So, install Arduino IDE and add supporting board manager and ESP library into it. (Download links are given in download section)



  1. Download and save source code on your computer and open it up using Arduino IDE.
  2. Connect USB to TTL module to your computer.
  3. Open Arduino IDE – Select board ‘Generic ESP8266 Module’ – Select Port of your TTL device (Here’s How to)
  4. Open downloaded code.ino file into arduino and upload the code into ESP module by pressing upload button.
  5. After uploading, Disconnect the ESP module from USB-TTL module and connect it to RGB LED as shown in bellow diagram.

Circuit Diagram for connecting RGB LED:

Steps: 

    1. Connect the final circuit as shown in above diagram and power it up using 5v battery or wall adapter.
    2. ESP module will boot up and LED light will show fade effect in all three colors at startup.



  1. Then open your device WiFi in discovery mode and you will see a new WiFi access point, named as RGB in discovery list.
  2. Connect that WiFi access point, Open any web browser in that device and open ip address 192.168.1.1 , thats it, you will see a colorful RGB control screen to control your wireless RGB LED.
        Note: Do not feed more than 3.3v to ESP-01 module

In this projects we are going to use XS3868 Bluetooth module to convert our wired headphones to wireless one. XS3868 is based on OVC3860 RF transceiver. OCV3860 is low voltage single chip Bluetooth RF transceiver providing Bluetooth stereo solution. OVC3860 is a 2.4GHz transceiver with Bluetooth V2 baseband and can transfer 20bit high quality audio codec. OVC3860 is fetured with inbuilt power management and support advance lithium ion batteries with switch regulator.
This device can be program through serial port using AT commands, we will see this chapter later on how to program XS3868 using serial adapter.




Required Components:

  1. XS-3868 Bluetooth module.
  2. Good quality Headphones (wired).
  3. 10k resistor.
  4. 47uF capacitor.
  5. 3mm LED.
  6. 3.7v  Lithium ion battery.

Tools:

  1. Soldering ion
  2. Soldering paste
  3. Soldering tin wire
