How to Make Your Own Night Vision Device!

In this project I will show you how to create a night vision device. It mainly consists of a security camera, a small screen and a custom PCB which features IR LEDs and an LED driver. After powering the device with a USB Type-C PD powerbank, you can basically use it to see in the dark. Let's get started!

The video gives you all the information you need to create your own night vision device. During the next steps though, I will present you some additional information.

Here you can download the gerber files for my PCB. Use them to get your own PCBs and solder all components to one.

Here you can find the .stl files for the project. Use them to 3D print the housing and then do all the mounting and wiring.

You did it! You just created your own night vision device!
