  • A Graphic Interface for the LuciLed illuminator

    After a month or so of testing, I considered the LuciLed (Neopixel-based condenser substitute) sufficiently useful to spend the time creating a graphic interface using a Nextion 2.8 (NX3224T028) inch display. Programming Nextions takes a bit of getting used to… to say the very least (!). I had an old Nextion display in my Arduino…

  • LuciLED – a NeoPixel microscope illuminator – parts and code

    The following code runs on an Arduino with a 5 button keypad, I2C 4 line 20 character LCD display, 18 NeoPixel ring and a 3 NeoPixel PCB. The NeoPixel components are mounted on 3D printed parts. See TinkerCad links below for the STL files/designs. Also see below for further information on the other parts and…

  • The ‘LuciLED’ illuminator – a NeoPixel-based light source for compound microscopes

    This is a temporary post to gauge interest in this form of illumination. I emphasize that this is a ‘work in progress’ and that I am happy to acknowledge that it isn’t a substitute for an Abbe condenser though it can produce some very interesting patterns of illumination both steady and that can change with…
