My demo here is running on a breadboard, but when I build the soundbar I will transfer everything to a PCB.

I hope to update this instructable with that by the end of the summer.īreadboard, solder to a perfboard, or design your own PCB.
* I plan on building a sound bar to make this project entirely "from scratch," which will replace 9-13 above.
Scrap wood, gorilla glue, hot glue, solder, wire, and command strips (velcro style, 20 medium or 10 large).

I don't think that would interfere with the build quality but feel free to ask anyone more familiar with woodworking first.
40 x 1/2" Wood screws - I had round head available to me but I recommend using flat top if you can. But I also only did one coat due to time constraints. I got a spray can of semi-gloss (no gloss was available) and honestly, it didn't do that much. Lacquer - First off, check out this video by Steve Ramsey and decide for yourself what works best. I originally tried provincial and it didn't look as nice. I used Minwax red mahogany and it came out very nice. Wood Stain - You only need a small can. Keep it in the wrapping when you go to laser cut. 40% Light Transmission Acrylic - I ordered 18" x 24" x 1/8", and it was technically 17.75" x 23.5". Logitech BT Audio Adapter - this device can stream audio out to the stereo speakers and to your circuit. I found a set of 3 20W (=loud) speakers at Goodwill for $6, and that came with a "center" and two "front" speakers. Pay attention to what impedance is compatible with your receiver. I recommend checking Goodwill, craigslist, and other thrift stores for similar.* I picked up a Panasonic RA6600 off craigslist for $15. Stereo Receiver - any vintage stereo receiver will work as long as it has aux input (3.5mm or RCA). 2 x 10kR, 2 x 1kR, 2 x 100 nF capacitors - for audio input biasing. 330 nF, 100 nF capacitors - per L7805 datasheet. 
L7805 5V Regulator - Any 5V regulator that accepts a 12V input will work.You may be able to find a cheaper option from one of the knockoffs or another vendor. Arduino Uno - I had an R3 lying around so I used that.Each light strip is 90W in worst-case scenario (I haven't measured to confirm), which left me ~60W for speakers + amplifier. DC 12V 20A (240W) Power Supply - I initially planned on doing 2 LED strips, and wanted a blow-your-house-down speaker set.Also note that WS2811s are 12V while WS2812s are 5V. You have some leeway here but make sure the dimensions are correct and that you can actually talk to the LEDs. WS2811 60LEDS/m 5m, IP30 (Non-Waterproof), Addressable - These were cheaper then WS2812 at the time.Please don't buy unnecessarily expensive components. I had several of these parts lying around already.
