This document contains the full list of all parts to build TesLight.
The list has been split into required and optional parts.
Since TesLight 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.
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.

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.) |
