Customer:
I’m building a family house with a staircase that we want to light with LED strips controlled by a Croduino board. I’m not an expert in this, so I need help.
My plan is to install a motion sensor (or possibly an ultrasonic sensor) on the first and last steps to signal the Croduino board to start lighting the LED strips. I’d also like a sensor on the top step to light the strips when going down. If you have other solutions, I’m open to them.
I’ve learned a lot from your YouTube videos and prepared the electrical installation. I’d appreciate an offer for everything I need to buy from you to make the system work perfectly, and if possible, a wiring diagram.

Moje ime je [name removed], javljam Vam se vezano za Croduino. Moja supruga i ja u Bizovcu(nedaleko Osijeka) gradimo obiteljsku kuću te smo došli do faze ugradnje stepeništa. Svaku stubu bismo osvijetlili led trakama pri čemu bismo koristili Vašu Croduino upravljačke pločicu. Nisam stručnjak za te stvari pa Vas molim za pomoć. Moja zamisao je da na prvu i posljednju stubu uradimo senzor pokreta(ili možda bolje ultrazvučni senzor) koji bi dao signal Croduino pločici da počne paliti led trake na stubama, te jedan senzor na gornjoj stubi koji bi dao signal da se počnu paliti led trake kada silazimo dolje(ukoliko imate neko drugo riješenje rado bih ga primjenio). Gledao sam Vaša videa na youtube-u i dosta toga naučio iz njih. Napravio sam pripremu električne instalacije(slike šaljem u prilogu mail-a). Pumo biste mi pomogli. U nadi da ćete nam pomoći srdačno Vas pozdravljam. [name removed] 099/213-3828

Soldered Support:
For LED strips, you can choose from these options in our shop (the difference is only in the number of LEDs per meter):
ADRESABILNA RGB LED TRAKA WS2812B 144LED/M 5V IP20
ADRESABILNA RGB LED TRAKA WS2812B 60LED/M 5V IP20
ADRESABILNA RGB LED TRAKA WS2812B 30LED/M 5V IP20
For the development board, we recommend DASDUINO CORE MUŠKI HEADERI to control the LEDs - this requires separate power. Regarding power supply, we don’t have a single concrete recommendation because it depends on which strips you choose. For example, ADRESABILNA RGB LED TRAKA WS2812B 144LED/M 5V IP20 draws 4.8 A, and if you add another 1m, the current adds up - meaning 2m requires 9.6A. If you decide on ADRESABILNA RGB LED TRAKA WS2812B 30LED/M 5V IP20, you can power 5m of LED strip with NAPAJANJE 5V 10A.
For your project we’d also recommend ULTRAZVUČNI MODUL HC-SR04 or SENZOR POKRETA HC-SR501. The best advice would be to test both sensors to see which works better for you. Follow the KKM tutorials at Soldered: Open-Source Electronics, Boards, Sensors & Modules – Soldered Electronics. You can also find specific tutorials next to the product article in the upper right corner.
Wiring diagrams are not provided through technical support. Custom development work is available but charged separately.

hvala Vam na upitu. Što se tiče led traka, možete odabrati u našem Webshopu (razlika je samo u broju dioda po 1 metru): ADRESABILNA RGB LED TRAKA WS2812B 144LED/M 5V IP20 ADRESABILNA RGB LED TRAKA WS2812B 60LED/M 5V IP20 ADRESABILNA RGB LED TRAKA WS2812B 30LED/M 5V IP20 Za razvojnu pločicu predlažemo DASDUINO CORE MUŠKI HEADERI kojom će se upravljati LED - za to je potrebno posebno napajanje. zbraja, znači na 2m je potrebno 9.6A. Prema tome ovisi koju ćete traku uzeti. Ako se odlučite za ADRESABILNA RGB LED TRAKA WS2812B 30LED/M 5V IP20, onda možete 5m LED napajati s NAPAJANJE 5V 10A. Za Vaš projekt bismo Vam još predložili ULTRAZVUČNI MODUL HC-SR04 ili SENZOR POKRETA HC-SR501. Najbolji bi Vam savjet bio da testirate oba senzora kako biste vidjeli što Vam bolje funkcionira i svakako pratite KKM tutoriale Soldered: Open-Source Electronics, Boards, Sensors & Modules – Soldered Electronics. Također konkretne tutorijale možete pronaći i pokraj artikla u gornjem desnom uglu. Šaljem u prilogu screenshot. Nažalost, shemu spajanja ne nudimo preko tehničke podrške te ukoliko želite baš razvoj, on se dodatno naplaćuje.
