The [Adafruit Sparkle Motion Mini](https://www.adafruit.com/product/6160) is part of our series of "Sparkle Motion" boards, that are our attempt to make the best small WLED-friendly smart LED driving board in the whole world. Our resident mermaid, firepixie makes a lot of projects with WLED and she loves it! So how can we make something that will be powerful enough to drive advanced LED projects that need a compact design? | ||
|
||
The Mini version of the Sparkle Motion is a simpler version of our full-featured Sparkle Motion, we give up the high voltage support and built in IR receiver, in order to make it under 1 square inch in size! By using a 4-layer board and double-sided assembly we've put together this feature set: | ||
|
||
* <b>Power via USB Type C for up to 5V 4A input -</b> you can use off-the-shelf USB battery packs for portable operation. | ||
* <b>4 Amp resetting fuse</b> to protect from over-current drive | ||
* <b>ESP32</b> 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. | ||
* <b>USB-serial converter</b> with auto-reset | ||
* <b>Two output signals plus 5V power and ground</b> - both signal output are level shifted to 5V. These are on 0.1" spaced breakout pads. To keep the design slim we don't include terminal blocks pre-soldered, [but we do stock the matching blocks if you want them](https://www.adafruit.com/product/2137) | ||
* <b>Extra 2x3 0.1" breakout pads</b> with 4 more GPIO plus 3V power and ground. | ||
* <b>Built-in I2S microphone</b> | ||
* <b>Stemma QT I2C port</b> to connect external sensors/OLED/etc | ||
* <b>User button on GPIO 0</b> plus Reset button | ||
* <b>Red built-in LED</b> on pin 12 | ||
* <b>Small built-in NeoPixel</b> on pin 18 | ||
* <b>Separate analog/digital input JST port</b> for analog input, potentiometer, microphone or external IR receiver on pin 13 | ||
* <b>Compact enough you can use it for wearable projects</b> - 1.2"x0.8" / 30mm x 20mm size with mounting holes | ||
|
||
While we recommend it for use with WLED, it will also work just fine as a compact ESP32 board for use with Arduino, ESP-IDF, MicroPython, CircuitPython or any other ESP32 supported codebase. | ||
|
||
Note that unlike the classic Sparkle Motion board, we don't include terminal blocks pre-soldered to keep the board very slim. We do stock the matching blocks if you want them, a small amount of soldering is required to attach them. Also, unlike the bigger version, we dropped the on-board IR receiver - however its easy to add one by plugging in a JST SH 3-pin socket cable and slotting in an IR receiver module. | ||

[Adafruit Sparkle Motion - All-In-One WLED and xLights Board](https://www.adafruit.com/product/6100) | ||
|
||
We're designing a board for using WLED - and we want to make like the bestest board in the whole world. Our resident mermaid, firepixie makes a lot of projects with WLED and she loves it! So how can we make something that will be powerful but not too bulky? Here's some things we're thinking about as | ||
the design starts to congeal like cranberry sauce: | ||
|
||
* Power via USB Type C PD with a slide switch that selects between 5, 12 and 20V (24V pixels can usually run fine at 20V) OR via 2.1mm DC jack | ||
* Low forward-voltage diodes so its good for up to 5A from either | ||
* 5 Amp fuse to protect from over-current drive | ||
* ESP32 mini module with built in or optionally wFL antenna port (the classic '32 has broad support even if we'd prefer the 'S2 or 'S3) | ||
* Three output signal terminal block sets with power and ground for each - they'll be level shifted to 5V. | ||
* 6 GPIO breakout pads with a fourth level-shifted ouput, and 3 more GPIO plus power and ground. | ||
* Built-in I2S microphone | ||
* Built-in IR receiver | ||
* Stemma QT I2C port to connect external sensors/OLED/etc | ||
* Separate analog/digital input JST port for analog input, potentiometer, microphone or external IR receiver | ||
* Compact enough you can use it for wearable projects - 1.3"x1.75" / 33mm x 45mm size with mounting holes | ||
