computer-desk-lights

Arduino code to control an LED strip that is built into a computer desk via an IR remote and HomeKit.

Hardware

• Adafruit Feather HUZZAH ESP8266
• Adafruit NeoPixels
• IR Receiver Sensor
• IR Remote

Schematic

Below is the wiring that I used to supply 5V of power to the NeoPixels and controller. I merged a USB-A male connector and micro-USB male connector and added an in-line capacitor.

Below is the circuit diagram for the IR receiver sensor and NeoPixels.

Required board libraries

• esp8266 v3.0.2
