Part List

This document contains the full list of all parts to build NikoLight. The list has been split into required and optional parts. Since NikoLight can be modified in a lot of ways, the actual part list depends a little on your individual plans. Make sure to read the planning document first. Also, this list assumes that you have all necessary tools and materials for building electronics projects, like a soldering iron.

Assembled PCB by JLCPCB

Most parts will come fully assembled with the board. The parts are already contained in the fiels for the board. You only have to insert the ESP32 board and the MPU6050 manually.

Possible LEDs

Part	Source	Comment
WS2812 LED Strip	Amazon
Fiber Tube	Amazon
LED Injector Case	JLCPCB	Can be ordered here using 3D models from the project
LED Light Bars	IYC	30 cm/75 cm/100 cm
LED Light Bars Alternative	Herwins	25 cm/75 cm/100 cm (Symphony version are WS2812, check polarity before use, see build. These are very small and are masked with black foil and are thus dimmed, which is great as we can use the full color spectrum of the LEDs and at the same time do not get blind while driving.)

Optional Parts

Heatsink for Regulators	2	Reichelt	Helps to keep the temperature a little lower
Temperature Sensors	2	Reichelt	Not required but a safety feature
Cooling Fan 30x30	1	Reichelt	Not required but nice to have
Shrinking tube	depends	Amazon	Will help you to have a cleaner and safer build
Fabric tape	depends	Amazon	Will help you to have a cleaner and safer build
3 wire cable	depends	Amazon	you can use this 3 wire cable to connect the LEDs
