The Adafruit Sparkle Motion Mini 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, 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:
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, it is easy to add one by plugging in a JST SH 3-pin socket cable and slotting in an IR receiver module.
