Inside a Temu ripple cube - with schematic - Summary

Summary

This video reviews a rotating LED disco ball-like device purchased from a company called Temu. The device features a handmade filtered plastic cover that creates complex effects when combined with the rotating LED light inside. The circuit board powering the LEDs consists of three transistors and a microcontroller, but the design could benefit from modifications to stabilize the power supply. The reviewer suggests that the device would be worth buying for the motor and plastic cover alone, as they could be used to create a custom effect. Overall, the device is simple but effective, and not too expensive from Temu or other sources.

Facts

1. The device being reviewed was bought from a company called Temu.
2. The device has a wooden base and a hand made top, but arrived rattly and not working.
3. The device has a rotating pattern with lenses that produces a visual effect.
4. The device comes with a remote control to select fixed colors.
5. The Cube that sits over the top of the device is made of rippled plastic and created by gluing squares together.
6. The circuit board has a microcontroller, three transistors for red, green, and blue, resistors for the LEDs, and an infrared receiver.
7. The LEDs are being run at high power and using 130mA for red, 210mA for green, and 200mA for blue.
8. Modifications to improve the device were suggested.
9. The device is worth buying for the motor and disc, which can be used to create custom visual effects.
