Description
These are a set of 5mm LED rings that I designed to replace the original top section of this 1 meter tall RGB LED tower kit ( the Banggood RGB LED Canton Tower kit. ( https://uk.banggood.com/custlink/3vKYokPDv ) )
These will mean that the tower top section will now be able to reflect the patterns of the main tower instead of just being comprised of colour-changing LEDs which just randomly change colours with no control by the MCU.
I've made a series of videos detailing the process of building this kit, here's the links:-
