Mini Sparkle Motion with Pre-soldered Terminal Block - ESP32 NeoPixel LED Driver
The Adafruit Sparkle Motion Mini is a compact ESP32-based WLED driver board with USB-C power input up to 5V 4A, dual 5V level-shifted outputs, built-in microphone, Stemma QT I2C port, GPIO breakout pads, and integrated NeoPixel.
TheĀ Adafruit Sparkle Motion MiniĀ is part of ourĀ series of "Sparkle Motion" boards, which are our attempt to make theĀ best smallĀ WLED-friendly smart LED driving board in the whole world. Our resident mermaid,Ā firepixie, makes a lot of projects with WLED, and she loves it! So, hw can we make something powerful enough to drive advanced LED projects that need a compact design?
TheĀ MiniĀ version of the Sparkle Motion is a simpler version of our full-featured Sparkle Motion; it doesn't include the high voltage support or IR receiver, to make it under 1 square inch in size!
This version includes a pre-soldered terminal block, which means no soldering is required to get started: a small screwdriver will get you going instantly. However, the board is bulkier, and the terminal block overlaps half of one of the breakout pads. (We also sell a Mini Sparkle Motion - WLED-friendly ESP32 NeoPixel LED Driver, which comes without the terminal block).
By using a 4-layer board and double-sided assembly, we've put together this feature set:
- Power via USB Type C for up to 5V 4A input -Ā you can use off-the-shelf USB battery packs for portable operation.
- 4Ā Amp resetting fuseĀ to protect from over-current drive
- ESP32Ā mini module with built-in antenna port - the classic ESP32 has the best WLED support, even if we'd prefer the 'S2 or 'S3. Comes with 4 MB of flash, dual-core 240MHz Tensilica, WiFi, Bluetooth LE, and Bluetooth Classic support.
- USB-serial converterĀ with auto-reset
- Two output signals plus 5V power and ground - both signal outputs are level shifted to 5V. These are on 0.1" spaced breakout pads.
- Extra 2x3 0.1" breakout padsĀ withĀ 4Ā more GPIO plus 3V power and ground.
- Built-in I2S microphone
- Stemma QT I2C portĀ to connect external sensors/OLED/etc
- User button on GPIO 0Ā plus Reset button
- Red built-in LEDĀ on pin 12
- Small built-in NeoPixelĀ on pin 18Ā
- Separate analog/digital input JST portĀ for analog input, potentiometer, microphone, or externalĀ IR receiver on pin 13
- Compact enough you can use it for wearable projectsĀ - 1.2"x0.8" / 30mm x 20mm size with mounting holes
While we recommend it for use with WLED, it will also work fine as a compact ESP32 board for use with Arduino, ESP-IDF, MicroPython, CircuitPython, or any other ESP32-supported codebase.
Comes as a fully assembled driver board with a 3.5mm terminal block
Also, unlike the bigger version, we dropped the on-board IR receiver; however, it's easy to add one byĀ plugging in a JST SH 3-pin socket cableĀ andĀ slotting in an IR receiver module.
