Two Output 5V WT32-ETH01 WLED Boards

This document presents two output WT32-ETH01 5V only boards that is capable of running WLED software that can power Christmas light shows.

I watched a behind the scene video from Bytes Of Pi where he showed how he had been using the WT32-ETH01 for his displays and this got me thinking since what he described was similar to the way I have been running my light shows with ESP8266 WiFi enabled microcontroller and I had wanted to make a ethernet port shield for the ESP8266 but it was getting time consuming and here is ESP32 based microcontroller with built-in ethernet port. After watching his videos with respect to how to configure WLED software, I ordered myself two WT32-ETH01, flashed it and me and my friend (Razaq) modified the existing board that we used for the ESP8266 for the WT32-ETH01. The plan is to release the full gerber files so that any DIYer can make the boards for their personal use, however, this is still being tested, so there might still be some changes (addition of stuffs here and there).

The boards are in two flavors. One is where the longer header pins are on the other side of the WiFi side of the WT32. This is the typical way to solder the header pins because it places the WiFi antennae on the top. The board for this flavor is shown with no cut-out for the RJ45 jack. The other flavor is where longer header pins are on the same side of the WiFi antennae. This is the type that come pre-soldered and the board is flipped over. The board for this flavor is shown with cut-out for the RJ45 jack

Shown are the front and back of populated boards for the two flavors. The boards can only accept 5V power supply and their two outputs can only power 5V pixels. Bill of material to populate the boards and Gerber files will be made available once the boards are fully tested.

Added transparent 60mm (2.3 inch) diameter pipe enclosure to the board/controller.

Steps to populate the boards will be added once the BOM and Gerber files are published
